A cast of vibrant senior women, an idyllic retirement community setting, and a very unfortunate death... Six months since being placed in a retirement home by her daughter, Millie Holt's routine water aerobics class takes a harrowing turn when she discovers her charming instructor, Scott, lifeless in the pool. As shock ripples through the group, suspicions brew-Scott's death seems far from natural. He was too vibrant, too full of life. Yet, without a shred of evidence indicating foul play, the truth remains elusive. Bound by grief and a shared resolve, Millie and her bathing-capped pool pals unite to unravel this mystery. But their journey demands more than determination; personal differences and a spoonful of recalcitrance threaten to derail their collective pursuit. As they seek truth amidst a cacophony of shadows, their quest puts them against formidable adversaries-powerful figures who'd prefer their curiosity remain unexplored. A tale of resilience and defiance, with a dash of humor, join these women as they confront the abyss of secrets, forging an unlikely alliance in their relentless pursuit of justice against those who would rather the truth stay concealed.

"I think it's perfectly healthy to have a little fantasy involving your ex being run over at high speed." - Iris While picking out a new suit for an upcoming TV appearance to promote her latest novel, celebrated mystery writer Iris MacKenzie has an unfortunate altercation with her ex-husband's very pregnant new wife. When video footage of the incident goes viral, Iris's career comes crashing down around her. Her publisher drops her; her literary agent drops her; and even her lawyer, who happens to be her own son, drops her. As she is sifting through the ruins of her life, Iris gets a call from a woman working at a local rehabilitation facility, claiming to represent a patient there who would very much like to speak with her. When Iris tries to pump the woman for information on who this mysterious patient could be, all the woman will tell her is that she believes Iris holds the key to the patient's journey toward recovery. Given Iris's current emotional state of mind after the destruction of her career, she's not inclined to grant this patient's wish, but for reasons even she herself can't explain, Iris agrees to pay this patient a visit. When she shows up at the facility the following day, the patient turns out to be the last person she ever expected to see. What follows is a beautifully written story about love, loss, hope, redemption, and the indelible and unbreakable bonds that tie us together as we travel through this journey we call life.
