Starting from their base at a dimly lit city café, four young women wade through a society reeking of fanfare, illicit sex, hair-rousing abuses and sometimes, murder itself. In the midst of all this is a dead body in an apartment and it must disappear before it rots and stinks. Each of the women here has great style. She knows how to reward a good man. She knows how to take down a brute and more importantly, how to move on into the setting sun, in search of love, treasure, trust and fulfillment.
