Plot summary
Doug Varney takes pride in his work at Bishop's, the pharmacy in Woodbury, but the business stays in the name of the father-in-law who owns it, Walter Bishop, and Doug's wife Kara runs the household. Kara, an ultra-competitive road cyclist who has won the Tour de Woodbury six years in a row, decides how their twelve-year-old son Ethan is raised. Elizabeth Roberts is new to Woodbury and married to the older Jack Roberts, who she believes sees her as a trophy wife; she abuses prescription drugs. She and Doug begin an affair, and she teaches him to turn his knowledge of drugs and his access to them to the pair's benefit. DEA agent Andrew Carp inspects the pharmacy now that it has changed hands.
