傑克，沒有人不喜歡他。
他是熱忱的律師，為受虐婦女發聲，
更是溫柔的好丈夫，對妻子呵護備至。

葛蕾絲，沒有人不羨慕她。
她與丈夫住在一幢美麗的房子裡，
宛如城堡裡的公主，過著幸福快樂的日子。

每個人都認識像傑克與葛蕾絲這樣的完美夫妻。
他外表英俊，體貼多金；她充滿魅力，舉止優雅。
即使你不想，你也很難不被他們所吸引。

你會想進一步了解葛蕾絲，
但卻發現這點很難辦到，
因為她和傑克兩個人總是形影不離。

有些人或許會說這才是真愛，
但有些人可能會問，為什麼葛蕾絲從來不接電話？
或者沒有傑克陪同就不能參加午餐聚會？
還有，為什麼他們家其中一間臥室的窗戶裝了鐵柵？

有時候，完美的婚姻，就是完美的謊言。


Everyone knows a couple like Jack and Grace. He has looks and wealth; she has charm and elegance. He’s a dedicated attorney who has never lost a case; she is a flawless homemaker, a masterful gardener and cook, and dotes on her disabled younger sister. Though they are still newlyweds, they seem to have it all. You might not want to like them, but you do. You’re hopelessly charmed by the ease and comfort of their home, by the graciousness of the dinner parties they throw. You’d like to get to know Grace better.

But it’s difficult, because you realize Jack and Grace are inseparable.

Some might call this true love. Others might wonder why Grace never answers the phone. Or why she can never meet for coffee, even though she doesn’t work. How she can cook such elaborate meals but remain so slim. Or why she never seems to take anything with her when she leaves the house, not even a pen. Or why there are such high-security metal shutters on all the downstairs windows.

Some might wonder what’s really going on once the dinner party is over, and the front door has closed.
