Welcome to the world of the New England elite. The more understated scions and power brokers who choose to live behind the suburban curtain of anonymity. Behind the velvet rope their chosen life maintains privacy and hides the truth from the outside world. For some a private paradise, for others a gilded cage. Be careful what you wish for. Mirage in the Mirror interweaves a tapestry of multiple families in one story as they all meet at the crossroads. The Armstrong's appear to have a charmed life. Amanda Armstrong comes from the best family lineage and her husband John is a self-made businessman eyeing a life in politics. When their son Teddy is diagnosed with severe autism their family, portrait, masterpiece begins to crack down the middle. They open a school and residential program for autistic children but don't have the skills to deal with their own son one on one. Both find refuge in their own sordid diversions. Their mantra is, why suffer if you don't have to? Caitlin Mayfair and Carol Simeone are both high profile professional women who once had the trappings of their blue blood, entitled employers. Both lose their genteel futures at the hands of misogynous men. Now they will recapture what was taken from them and execute justice upon those who robbed them. Women power prevails at long last. If someone dies along the way, it's nothing personal. Tom and Libby Houston have a prominent but empty marriage. That wasn't the plan it's just how things turned out. With bad memories of a deceased son, they have too much time and money on their hands to help escape the past. An explosive day of reckoning awaits. Sometimes we never really know the ones we love most. Brad Goguen and Rick Tavares are two outside criminal grifters who charm their way into the lives and wallets of Mansfield Country Club's finest. Services rendered come with an unexpected cost. Mirage in the Mirror takes an unflinching look at today's most pressing social issues with unrelenting suspense leading to an ultimate showdown. Glamour is eclipsed by gritty realism as an eclectic cast of characters remove the mask from their faces in one powerhouse, family saga. The truth versus the mirage in the mirror.
