Storyline
Plot Summary |
When Madeline and Celeste take new-in-town single mom Jane under their wing, they don't realize how the arrival of Jane and her inscrutable little boy will affect them all. "Big Little Lies" is a brilliant take on ex-husbands and second wives, schoolyard scandal, and the dangerous little lies we tell ourselves just to survive. Written by Anand Patel |
