Thirteen years later, one of the girls, a Broadway star, is bludgeoned to death. Another member, high-powered attorney Monica Boyd concludes that the deaths are linked to their old club. She returns to her hometown to meet with the surviving members. Except for Laurel Damante, none of the others want to go to the police. Another one of them is soon killed and Laurel feels she is being stalked.
Someone wants four broken hearts.
The interrelationships of the four surviving members are fascinating to watch unfold, but Laurel steals the show. She is the voice of reason and common sense even as an unknown assailant threatens them and sends her friends into panic. Her resiliency and refusal to go quietly propels the plot to a higher quality level that leaves the audience wanting more works from Ms. Thompson.
