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.

Affairs bubble beneath the surface, enemies lurk behind well-manicured hedges, and whispers of revenge drift through the air like pollen in the spring. From high-stakes betrayals to shocking revelations, Grosse Pointe Garden Society proves that in a town this perfect, something sinister is always lurking just beneath the surface.
