One-Sentence Summary: A wealthy family living in a rule-bound community is curious and obsessed with a struggling family who lives a freestyle life.
Shaker Heights seems like a hypocrite place to me. The residents seem to act charitable and try to be inclusive, or maybe that's what Elena thought about the residents in Shaker Heights. All those are not really coming from their hearts. They are just following the rules passing from generations to maintain their perfect images and reputations.
I guess the Richardsons are obsessed with someone different than them or probably anyone who is not living in Shaker Heights. Deep down, they want a certain level of freedom instead of binding to the principles and rules. At least a choice of making decisions.
