The Retirement Plan

DEBUTFour couples have been friends for ages, but the shine has definitely gone from each of their marriages. They argue and stew over tiny affronts, such as why can’t Andre just cut down the juniper bush that Shalisa hates? Didn’t Hank know that Pam was saving that leftover pad thai to eat later? After one wife, Marlene, suffers a loss that turns out to be a win (Dave’s sudden death by garage door makes her well-off after she gets a huge insurance payout), the other women start to think that they too should bump off their husbands for the life-insurance money. They have no idea, however, that the men have been plotting as well; their scheme to skim funds from the casino where Hank works has been a wild success, and it’s almost time for the men to cash out and flee the country. The plots thicken when someone gets wise, prompting Hank to hire a hit man.
