The kids have left and the house has gone quiet. Vivian, your wife, deals with it the way she deals with everything: with a notebook. Years of watching the street have left her knowing exactly what every neighbor wants, and she has decided to do something about it. She is not jealous. She likes to watch, and she likes to plan.

Five neighbors, five houses, one cul-de-sac: Daisy, freshly divorced and a walking catastrophe; Bex, an ex-executive who runs her household like a quarterly review; Constance, spotless, devout and alphabetizing the spice rack; Gia, a former model whose husband is never home; and Sable, a realtor who knows every house on the street. Vivian's laminated briefing tells you what makes each of them tick. What you do with it, and whether she approves, is up to you.

In development.
