In suburban America in 1960, Alice and Céline are next-door neighbors, and both mothers to boys of a similar age. Alice stages a surprise party for Céline's birthday, during which tensions between Alice and her husband become apparent. The next day, Céline's son, Max, stays home sick from school. Alice spots Max standing precariously on a balcony, trying to hang a birdhouse he made at school, and attempts to alert his mother, but the two are unable to act quickly enough and Max falls to his death. After her son's death, Céline distances herself from Alice, but grows closer to her son, Theo. At Max's funeral, Theo notices one of his own toys in Max's coffin and lashes out. After the funeral, Céline leaves for an unknown location for a month, and when she returns, she reconciles with Alice. Theo grows even closer with Céline, to the point of inviting her to his birthday party, much to Alice's dismay. The party goes as expected, but afterward, Alice's mother-in-law (Simon's mother) suddenly collapses, dying of a heart attack. Simon's mother has been taking medication for her heart, but an autopsy carried out at Alice's request reveals no trace of that medication in her bloodstream. Alice suspects that Céline has been replacing the drug with a placebo, but her attempts to find evidence prove fruitless. Alice's suspicions deepen when Theo is hospitalized after a severe allergic reaction at Céline's house, with Alice believing Céline has deliberately encouraged Theo to eat food to which he is allergic. Alice enters Céline's house while she is out one day to attempt to find evidence, but Céline catches her and orders her to leave. Alice and Simon contemplate moving away from Céline, but the two eventually reconcile after Theo threatens to take his own life in response to their feud. Later that night, Céline kills her husband by sedating him with chloroform and slicing his wrist, making it look like a suicide. Alice and Simon allow a seemingly distraught Céline to stay with them, but while Alice goes to Céline's house to gather the rest of Céline's things, Céline sedates Simon and Theo. When Alice discovers this, she and Céline fight. Alice overpowers Céline, but Céline later sedates her and kills her and Simon by disconnecting their boiler to stage a gas leak. She spares Theo and later adopts him
