Amanda and Wendy are strangers until one dark evening brings them together on Manhattan's Upper West Side. Over drinks, they discover shared ground: crushing loneliness and burning desire for revenge against the men who shattered their families. As the night deepens, they devise what seems like the perfect solution. You kill for me, I kill for you. Meanwhile, across the city, Ruth faces her own nightmare when an intruder with piercing blue eyes breaks into the brownstone she shares with her husband Scott. The attack leaves her shaken and vulnerable. The blue-eyed stranger vanishes into the night, but Ruth knows he could return at any moment. Three women find themselves caught in a web of violence and vengeance that threatens to consume them all.
