When single mom Jo Dykstra was at her lowest, her childhood friend Dana McFarlane helped her out big-time. So, when Jo gets a frantic late-night call from Dana, sobbing and desperate for help, it feels like a chance to help her friend in return. The last thing Jo expects to see when she arrives at Dana's oceanfront mansion is her friend's husband dead, sprawled face down on the floor. Dana admits to killing her husband following years of secret abuse and begs Jo not to call the police. Dana convinces Jo to help her dispose of the body, but the cover-up starts to crumble when a blackmailer threatens to expose their crime.
