The Women's Murder Club is out celebrating an engagement at San Francisco's finest restaurant when a blood-curdling scream interrupts the festivities.

They soon discover a young woman who has been the victim of a violent assault. Sergeant Lindsay Boxer makes an arrest. Assistant District Attorney Yuki Castellano takes the case.

But assigning blame is made impossible due to the victim's chaotic version of events - and the shocking reason behind her ever-changing memory.

As Yuki argues the toughest case of her career, Lindsay must chase down a high-society killer whose target practice may leave the Women's Murder Club short a bridesmaid . . . or two.
