Innocence is a dangerous friend.

Overview

In the affluent, gated community of Camelot Gardens, bored wives indiscriminately sleep around while their unwitting husbands try desperately to climb the social ladder.

When Devon, a 10-year-old daughter from one family, forges a friendship with Trent, things suddenly get very complicated.
