A man has been murdered in a small mid-western town. But who was he? Who would murder him? How and why? Secrets abound in this town which has seen better and more fruitful days. It's small-town America. It's the Bible Belt. It's everybody knows everybody, and everybody knows everybody's business. Or do they? Church ladies rocking on their front porch talking about the middle-aged cafe owner falling for the young handyman. A life-weary woman mistreating her senile mother when no one is looking. A new and sweet relationship between an idealistic young man and the dreamy-eyed cripple girl. Morality and gossip go hand-in-hand. And this murder will reveal that which is hidden and that which is craved.

In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy – giving their boss the boot! While Hart remains "otherwise engaged," the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down. Hey, a girl can scheme, can't she?
