What is ‘Queens on the Run’ about?

The plot of the Mexican action-comedy is very simple, as it follows four friends, Paty Fenix, who lives in the shadow of her husband, Marilu Davila, who is a full-time housewife, Famela Guerra, who is dedicated to her work and neglects her marriage, especially after the death of her mother, and Estrella Solares, who is known as the free spirit of the group, decides to go on a road trip during her school days, but can not go.
