Award-winners Allison Janney (I, Tonya), Awkwafina (Crazy Rich Asians) and Wanda Sykes (Black-ish) star alongside Mila Kunis (Bad Moms) and Regina Hall (Girls Trip) for this crime-comedy-of-errors from BAFTA-nominated filmmaker Tate Taylor (Ma) and Central Park writer Amanda Idoko.
An overlooked pencil-pusher catches her husband in bed with another woman, the shock of which causes him to die of a heart attack. So she buries his body and takes advantage of the growing celebrity status that comes from having a missing husband. But she quickly finds herself in over her head, dodging cops and criminals, all while trying to keep the truth from her sister, a local news anchor who’s desperate for a story.
