Plot

‘Good Girls’ narrates the story of three women – two sisters and their BFF – who are done letting life take a hit at them at every turn. While the elder sister, who also happens to be the de facto leader of the group, going to lose her home to her husband’s philandering and over-spending ways, the younger sister, who is the rebel of the trio, is constantly living paycheck to paycheck while co-parenting her daughter, and their best friend, is taking extra shifts, much like her husband, only for money to still fall short for her sick daughter’s treatment.
Robbing the supermarket that the younger sister works in seemed like a better option than to struggle for money daily, but things get way out of hand way too fast.
