In their journey to conceal their criminal activities, they are forced to unearth the town's deep secrets. The trailer showcases the sisters trying to get rid of a body - a man that they had most likely murdered after having "lost control" with a murder weapon they don't seem to have a clear understanding of. From there on starts encounters and cover-ups that takes them through unwanted adventures with the town "embarrassment" Enid Nora Devlin played by Emmy Award-winning actress Margo Martindale.
