    Six divorcees seek revenge on their deceitful spouses, but someone starts taking it much too far... 
    Emily had the perfect life - the perfect job, the perfect house, the perfect husband - before she was blindsided and betrayed and lost it all. Now she's sitting in a divorce counselling group wondering how she'll ever feel okay again. What she wants is her old life back, and these group sessions seem to be the only way she'll be able to move on - past the jealousy, the hurt, and the daydreams of getting revenge. 
     
    And it seems everyone in the group is in the same boat: jilted by an ex-partner and struggling to cope. So over post-therapy drinks, the six divorcées come up with the brilliant idea to get a little payback of their own - Strangers-on-a-Train style, with each getting even on another's behalf. Nothing serious - just enough to disrupt their former partner's picture-perfect lives. 
     
    Emily is hesitant at first, but the more her old life spins away from her, the less she worries about her morals - plus, they agreed no one would get hurt. 
     
    But just when the group think they've pulled off the perfect petty crimes, one of the exes is found dead... and then another... and another... 
     
    With DI Rosa Hawkes on their case and the plan spiralling out of control, Emily doesn't know who she can trust, and if divorce taught her anything, it's that you can't trust anyone, even the people you love. Especially the people you love. Let alone perfect strangers like these.

    Nothing ruins a good walk on the beach like finding a mysterious suitcase full of damaged bones and a skull. The discovery rocks the peaceful community of Mermaid Bay, known for its historic beach cottages. The gruesome find is nothing like the usual summer ills of litterbugs and teens drinking under the pier for the idyllic seaside community, located a few miles from Virginia’s historic triangle of Jamestown, Williamsburg, and Yorktown. Ominous posters, followed by threatening notes and voodoo dolls, push the already-worried town’s business owners closer to the edge. Then, while trying to cope with the onslaught of threats to their community, prickly bookstore owner Emory Jessup turns up dead, strangled with a string of holiday lights. Christmas shoppe owner Jade Hicks has to connect the dots among all the strange occurrences before the summer tourist season is ruined and the spotlight of blame is focused on her store.

    Old friends. Old grudges. One evening back together again. The last time they all had dinner, someone wound up dead. What could go wrong? 
     
     
     
    Sophie Lind hasn't seen her college friends in a decade when a dinner invitation from one of the friends, Ava, arrives on her doorstep. They used to all be inseparable, meeting for dinner every week, even after graduation. But the last time they all had dinner, ten years ago, someone was dead by the end of the night. 
     
     
     
    It was Sophie's then-fiancé William who died that night in his apartment, just a room away from the friends he called family. Sophie isn't sure if it's curiosity—or guilt—that pushes her to accept Ava's dinner invitation and unbury those old wounds. When the six friends arrive for the dinner, there's a small box waiting for each of them by their plates. Each box uncovers secrets that the friends have kept hidden all these years, and with the door to the apartment locked from the outside, it's clear that Ava didn't plan this dinner just to reminisce about the past. 
     
      
     
    What happened to William is buried beneath someone's lies—and nobody's leaving this dinner table until the truth comes out.
