In the picturesque suburb of Grosse Pointe, where the garden club is the social epicenter and reputations matter more than reality, four unlikely allies find themselves entangled in a secret that could destroy them all. NBC’s new drama, Grosse Pointe Garden Society, delivers a deliciously dark twist on the seemingly perfect lives of the upper-middle class, blending scandal, betrayal, and mystery into a story that will keep you guessing.
At the heart of it all is Alice, a schoolteacher with literary ambitions, whose world is shaken by both professional disappointments and personal heartbreak. Brian, the rugged yet kind-hearted landscaper, has his own struggles—including a contentious custody battle and a past that won’t let him go. Catherine, the vice president of the Garden Society, appears to have the perfect life, but behind her carefully curated facade is a marriage in shambles and an affair that threatens to implode. And then there’s Bertie—an infamous socialite and influencer whose glamorous image is hiding more than just PR troubles.
