Outwardly, suburbia maintains the straitlaced middle-class look that belies the social ferment behind closed doors. There is the secret use of drugs, fed by the marijuana syndrome. There is the river of alcohol flooding from door to door under the euphemism of social drinking. Then, of course, inevitably, there is the advent of wife swapping. All in the spirit of good, clean fun... But where does the fun stop and the degradation begin? When one excess leads to another - and another - to what? This is the story of one couple in one neighborhood in one city, Anywhere, U.S.A. It is startling as a mirror of a way of life behind closed doors. No facade. No regrets. Indeed, to them mate-trading becomes the norm, until they begin to see what it is leading to. And outside their lives go on. Business and its daily conflicts. The day-to-day routine of the housewife. A novel of fiction for entertainment. A page of our restless society as food for serious thought.
