One day, a young woman marries a famous Hollywood movie star two decades her senior, and is drawn into his glamorous world and its dirty secrets. She begins to uncover the systemic scandals around powerful men in the industry, and the measures taken to keep them hidden. When she discovers the truth of just what one of those abusers is willing to do, she takes matters into her own hands. Her targets: all the men who think they can get away with this. But as the project spirals out of control, and she is drawn into increasingly dangerous attempts to go after more and more powerful players, it runs the risk of destroying her marriage, her life, her husband's glittering career, and everything she has ever believed in. Combining the dark feminist dystopia of Margaret Atwood, the possibly-unreliable narrator and twisty crime thrills of Gillian Flynn, and the high-life champagne glamour of Lauren Weisberger, THE WIVES offers a unique exploration into our troubled temporal moment, and challenges its audience to rethink their assumptions and response.
