When
the Caseys move into affluent Ridgeport, Ill. in search of a better
life for their newborn Scott, they are surprised to find a book
entitled, Ridgeport Welcomes You: Procedures and Guidelines
for Happy Living. The book is full of rules and ordinances that
citizens must abide by in order to live in their happy neighborhood.
Although mom Loretta Casey is hesitant to live by Ridgeport’s
strict rules, all that changes when she meets her neighbor Sue Ellen
Norris.
Sue Ellen serves on the Neighborhood Watch Committee,
overseeing the safety of the town, and Loretta becomes engrossed in
Sue Ellen’s addictive personality. But as Loretta’s son Scott and
Sue Ellen’s son Matt grow, they discover that Ridgeport is not as
perfect as their moms make it out to be. As Scott and Matt form their
band of friends, their journeys into the neighborhood woods prove to
be much more than just a place of refuge.
