Harry Wyckoff is a successful patent attorney on the brink of becoming a partner in the law firm where he works. He has two children with his wife Grace, a perfect housewife who also moonlights as a boutique owner. His 11-year-old son, Coty has just been cast for the new "Channel 3" series while Deirdre, his 4-year-old daughter has been mute from birth. His mother-in-law is the impossibly chic socialite and artist Josie Ito, a woman of strong will and numerous connections. At night, Wyckoff is plagued by strange dreams of a rhinoceros and a faceless woman who has palm trees tattooed on her body.
