The First Wives Club

Three college friends, now successful mid-life Manhattanites, reunite after a tragedy. When they discover they've all been abandoned by their husbands for younger women, they hatch a clever plan for revenge, targeting their exes' finances. It's a story of friendship, empowerment, and getting even.
