Description: In 1959, the tranquil, all-white community of Suburbicon faces upheaval with the arrival of an African-American family, the Mayers. Gardner Lodge, a seemingly ordinary family man, lives with his paraplegic wife Rose, their son Nicky, and Rose’s twin sister Margaret. One night, two intruders, Sloan and Louis, break into the Lodge home, tie up the family, and kill Rose using chloroform. Margaret steps in to care for Nicky after her sister’s death but soon begins to mimic Rose, changing her hair color and engaging in a relationship with Gardner.
During a police lineup, Gardner and Margaret deny recognizing Sloan and Louis as the killers, despite Nicky identifying them. Sloan later confronts Gardner, demanding payment for Rose’s murder. When Gardner refuses, the criminals plan to return and kill Nicky and Margaret. Meanwhile, tensions rise in Suburbicon due to the Mayers’ presence.
Bud Cooper, a charismatic insurance agent, visits the Lodge home while Gardner is away, questioning Margaret about a suspicious life insurance claim on Rose. Cooper accuses Gardner and Margaret of orchestrating Rose’s death for the insurance money. Margaret sends him away, but Cooper returns later to blackmail them, threatening to expose their scheme unless they share the payout. Margaret poisons Cooper’s coffee, and Gardner kills him with a fireplace poker. As Gardner disposes of the body, he is followed by Sloan.
