Rosemary Woodhouse and her struggling actor husband Guy move into an old New York City apartment, only to be surrounded by peculiar neighbours and strange occurrences. When Rosemary becomes mysteriously pregnant, paranoia over the safety of her unborn child begins controlling her life.

Idyllic Stepford, Connecticut, is an affluent, suburban Eden populated with successful hubbies and beautiful, dutiful wives. For Joanna Eberhart, newly arrived with her husband and children, it all seems too good to be true. But just beneath the town's flawless surface, something is sordid and wrong - and it may already be too late for Joanna to save herself from being devoured by Stepford's hideous perfection.
