Greener Grass

Jill Davies is introduced as an ordinary housewife living in a peculiar suburb where all adults wear dental braces and use golf carts. She is married to Nick and has two children: Julian and Madison, highlighting the unusual community dynamics she navigates daily.

During a soccer game, Jill and her friend Lisa Wetbottom engage in a conversation about their children while discussing the unsettling recent murder of a local yoga instructor. This moment sets the stage for complex relationships as they pit their children against each other.

In a surprising reveal of her feelings, Jill impulsively suggests that Lisa could take Madison as her daughter, and to her shock, Lisa agrees. This interaction indicates the underlying tension and competitiveness between the two women.

Jill struggles to manage her family's eccentricities, particularly her son Julian, who is clumsy and has an embarrassing habit of urinating on himself. These challenges contribute to Jill's mounting frustrations with her role as a mother and wife.

Tensions rise during Nick's birthday celebration, culminating in an intense argument between Jill and Julian. In an unexpected twist, Julian sings 'Happy Birthday' and, upon diving into the pool, inexplicably resurfaces transformed into a Golden Retriever.

While Nick enjoys the new, athletic version of Julian, Jill longs for her original son, creating a rift in their marriage. This emotional struggle highlights the family's shifting dynamics and Jill's inner turmoil.

Jill, yearning to reclaim her daughter now known as Paige, approaches Lisa again but is met with resistance. Lisa's betrayal stings, and their relationship deteriorates as tension escalates over the custody of Madison.

At a soccer event, Lisa decides to mock Jill by pretending to be pregnant with a soccer ball under her dress. This act of deceit showcases the lengths to which their rivalry has escalated, igniting further animosity between the two women.

Encouraged by friends at the bowling alley, Jill confronts Nick about her desire for a divorce, ultimately kicking him out. This moment marks a pivotal turning point in Jill's life, prompting her to take charge of her reality.

Overwhelmed after Nick finds Julian unattended and takes him away, Jill is left heartbroken. In a desperate state, she then abducts a child in a panicked attempt to fill the void left by Madison.

Jill experiences an unsettling encounter with a delusional stalker who urges her to leave her home. This adds to Jill's mounting stress and leads her to symbolically cut off her dental braces in a quest for freedom.

In a bid to escape her chaotic life, Jill drives back to her childhood home. Here, she meets a woman with four children, leading her to make a rash decision in her desperation.

Jill learns about the arrest of her stalker at the diner, discovering the woman is connected to the local yoga instructor's murder. This revelation chills her as she contemplates her own safety and the strange circumstances surrounding her life.

The next day, Jill is devastated to see her kidnapped 'daughter' participating in soccer practice. To her horror, she discovers that Lisa has moved into Jill's home while Nick is working as a pool boy, indicating a complete upheaval of Jill's former life.

Jill stands up from the bleachers during the soccer game, declaring her need to leave, only to be warned by the referee for being 'out of bounds.' Despite feeling humiliated, this moment marks Jill's growing realization of her need to reclaim control over her life.
