Julie Wyatt carries a terrible suspicion. She believes Darlene, her greedy daughter-in-law, killed her son Larry under mysterious circumstances.

Both women recognize the pain Julie faces. They know what it means to lose someone and watch the guilty go free. Myra, Annie, and their fellow Sisters begin investigating Darlene's activities. They uncover a web of shady dealings that runs deeper than anyone expected. The case takes unexpected turns as the women work to expose Darlene's crimes.
