From the outside it looked like a perfect marriage, a perfect life.

Debbie and Bud Floyd. Attractive, intelligent couple. Children? One. Small daughter, Katy. Home? A smart, suburban carriage house, part of the estate of Debbie's parents. Security? Yes. Oh, yes. For that was something Bud had striven for consciously and sub-consciously all his life. And now he had it! By all the outside-world standards Bud Floyd was a successful and secure example of that post-war creation: the Suburban Man.

But underneath? Behind the green-painted front door with the imitation colonial knocker -- behind the successful facade of country clubs and paychecks and pension plans -- behind the mask and manners of security, what was really happening?
