All I want is to be innocent again...

Pam, Debra and Harper grew up rich and privileged in Detroit's heyday, when the city's auto industry was booming. Now in middle age, their fortunes have run out: Debra's husband needs expensive medical treatment. Pam is in the middle of a nasty divorce. And Harper has a big debt and a big secret.

In desperate need of money, support and a way to restart their lives, the sisters join the Wheel, a women's 'investment club' that promises both relief and a path to financial independence. As the Wheel turns, the money flows, the stakes get higher - and then a shocking murder tears everything apart.
