About

A Los Angeles housewife's uneventful life changes when she develops a mysterious illness she believes is caused by her environment.

In 1987, Carol White (Julianne Moore) is a housewife in an affluent Los Angeles suburb. She lives with her husband Greg (Xander Berkeley) and stepson Rory; her days are filled with gardening, aerobics and meeting friends, including Barbara (Ronnie Farer) and Anita (Jodie Markell). Her marriage and family life look stable but sterile.

After the family home is renovated, Carol begins to experience physical symptoms in ordinary situations: coughing from truck exhaust, a panic attack at a baby shower and a nosebleed during a perm. She comes to believe the symptoms are triggered by chemicals around her. Doctors cannot diagnose or treat her and say she is physically healthy.
