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.
Set in the late 1970s. this hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era is outrageous, thought-provoking and even a little romantic.

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?
