With her husband working long hours and her teenage daughters occupied, Lisa joins the local swim and tennis club in an effort to meet people. A tennis clinic leads to a chance encounter with the charismatic and beautiful Simone Culligan, who is clearly the queen bee of the tennis set. Lisa is delighted to be taken under her wing, but soon discovers that tennis isn’t the only recreational activity Simone and her friends engage in.
