Pam, Debra and Harper grew up rich and privileged in Detroit's heyday, when the city's auto industry was booming. Now in middle age, their fortunes have run out: Debra's husband needs expensive medical treatment. Pam is in the middle of a nasty divorce. And Harper has a big debt and a big secret.
In desperate need of money, support and a way to restart their lives, the sisters join the Wheel, a women's 'investment club' that promises both relief and a path to financial independence. As the Wheel turns, the money flows, the stakes get higher - and then a shocking murder tears everything apart.
