Laila Nadene
never lose sight of the magnificent person you were born to be
During a romantic wedding anniversary dinner, Laila is callously served with divorce papers. Her husband, Raoul, takes this opportunity to let her know that he has a new girlfriend, Nadene, whom he plans to marry. To help cope with her grief, Laila enters therapy, but as the sessions get more intense, she gradually remembers the long-buried secrets that have haunted her for decades. Meanwhile, young women are disappearing, and a police investigation is in full swing. The police don’t have any suspects, that is until a missing person’s report is filed, and a body is pulled from the dumpster. After a visit from the lead detective, Laila is overcome with empathy for Nadene, and she vows to help her in any way. The women then team up and help each other so that the first wife can overcome the horrors of her past, and for the second wife, to avoid the utter destruction of her future.
