When the Great Recession sweeps the country, real estate agent Tom Feather has five days to sell two houses—or lose his own. Desperate to keep up appearances, he tries to pass off a wild turkey as Thanksgiving dinner. When the lie unravels, he, his wife Amy, and their children end up at a holiday meal in their immigrant gardener’s modest home, where discomfort gives way to an unexpected bond.

An anonymous buyer offers to purchase their house and let them stay as renters. It feels like salvation—until Tom learns the buyer is a scam artist who has left other families homeless. Worse, the deal may place them in the sights of an FBI investigation. With time running out, Tom and Amy race to expose the scam before it costs them their home—and their future.

Suburban Wildlife is a darkly funny, deeply human story about love, resilience, and what emerges when security gives way to animal instincts.
