Tony, Charis, and Karen share a history with the same woman: Zenia, a charismatic and destructive force who has systematically destroyed each of their marriages. When Zenia returns from an apparent death, she threatens to unravel their lives once again. Each woman must confront her own vulnerability and the complex web of relationships that Zenia exploits. As they band together, they realize that Zenia represents more than just a personal threat—she's a mirror reflecting their deepest insecurities and unspoken desires. Their survival depends on understanding not just Zenia, but themselves.
