The residents of Sylvan Street are a friendly group leading blameless lives in their quaint craftsmen homes--or so they thought. The harmonious cul-de-sac in a leafy Hudson Valley village is about to change forever when the neighbors discover a suitcase filled with one million dollars at a weekend pool party. Almost immediately moral compromises are struck, boon turns to burden, and friendships and marriages are tested. At the same time, ominous forces from the other side of the tracks, chasing their own promise of riches, are on a collision course toward Sylvan Street. Resonant with outside-world danger--from the echoes of September 11 to the recent economic crisis--Sylvan Street makes you wonder how well you know your neighbors, as it explores to startling conclusion the power and limitations of money.
