Perfect wives, flawed lifestyles, and breaking social norms in 1960s America.
Ruth Applebaum, a recent law school graduate, is getting used to life after marriage in a wealthy Philadelphia neighborhood. Ruth's mother-in-law, who has already enrolled her in etiquette classes taught by the immaculately dressed instructor Lillian Diamond, would stop at nothing to win Ruth over. However, Ruth offers something new to the close-knit group of housewives: a razor-sharp sense of humor, integrity, and an unwavering independence.
Ruth quickly becomes friends with the bashful Carrie Blum. Ruth asks Lillian and the Diamond Girls of the etiquette school to finally challenge the status quo when Carrie reveals a sinister and unsettling truth that lies behind her apparently ideal existence.
They push themselves far beyond their comfort zones and develop an unbreakable relationship together. For once, they'll find out what they want from themselves, confront what other people think of them, and go to any lengths to defend a loved one—nice manners be damned.
