Looking down on her friends and family isn't a way of life for Mary Alice Young; it's a way of death. One day, in her perfect house, in the loveliest of suburbs, Mary Alice ended it all. Now she's taking us into the lives of her family, friends and neighbours. Mary Alice's wake draws the other residents of Wisteria Lane, including her closest friends: former high-powered businesswoman Lynette Scavo, who is unable to manage her four unruly children, klutzy single mom Susan, model-turned-trophy-wife Gabrielle, and perfectionist homemaker Bree Van de Kamp, none of whom have a clue why Mary Alice committed suicide.
