Synopsis

Remake of a British miniseries about three women who attempt to finish a heist that resulted in the deaths of their husbands the first time around. The women are determined to find their husbands' killers and finish the job of stealing a painting by 17th century artist Johannes Vermeer -- a work that was stolen 10 years earlier from a Boston museum. A fourth woman enters the mix when she suspects that her missing boyfriend was involved in the husbands' original heist. The women are: Dolly, an upper middle-class housewife and the ringleader of the group; Linda, an employee at a used car dealership; Shirley, a low-rent actress; and Bella, an exotic dancer.
