A spirited, female-centered revenge comedy that transforms betrayal and abandonment into empowerment through friendship and wit.

After years of helping their hubbies climb the ladder of success, three mid-life Manhattanites have been dumped for a newer, curvier model. But the trio is determined to turn their pain into gain. They come up with a cleverly devious plan to hit their exes where it really hurts - in the wallet!
