Mia, Laney, Betts, and Ginger, best friends since law school, have reunited for a long weekend as Betts awaits Senate confirmation of her appointment to the Supreme Court. Nicknamed "the Ms.
Bradwells" during their first class at the University of Michigan Law School in 1979, the four have supported each other through life's challenges. But when the Senate hearings uncover a deeply
buried skeleton in their collective closet, the Ms. Bradwells retreat to a summer house on chesapeake Bay to relive a much darker period in their past.
