Synopsis

For years, Debbie Mullen has poured her best advice into her column, Dear Debbie, where the wives of New England come for sympathy and neighbourly counsel. Through it she has heard from countless women who are ignored, belittled, or abused by their husbands, and she has done her best to steer them right.

Lately, though, Debbie's own life is spiralling. She has just lost her job. Something strange is going on with her teenage daughters. And according to the tracking app she installed on his phone, her husband is keeping secrets.

Debbie is done being the bigger person. A biting, subversive thriller about what happens when women finally choose to take justice into their own hands — with killer results.
