Becoming a widow is a misfortune, but when three women become widows of one man at once, then this is meanness. Oil heiress Kate Steele knew her late husband was a swindler, but she is shocked that Conrad took two more wives without divorcing her. The only thing left from their unhappy marriage is a lakeside bungalow. The ardent, strong-willed Jamie also curses Conrad with all her heart, but still believes that she has the right to the property of the deceased. As does the pregnant Amanda, who is still mourning the loss of her “true” love. On a hot July day, all three arrive at the lake shore in order to claim their rights to the inheritance. Following on their heels is a detective who is convinced that one of these trio is involved in the murder of her husband. A summer spent together, filled with frank conversations and unexpected events, gives three women a chance to start a completely different life.
