Five women, Sarah, Meesha, Michelle, Anna and Pat were friends in high school. Now as adults with their own families, they are all suspects for murders that have been committed. The police are very keen to solve the different cases but which one is guilty? Each woman gives her own version of events and slowly unfolds their individual stories of what really happened. All have reasons to kill, and they are not as innocent as they appear.
