WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In 1978 New York, Kathy (McCarhy), Ruby (Haddish) and Claire (Moss) are three housewives whose mobster husbands are suddenly sent to prison by the FBI. Forced to fend for themselves, they band together to pick up where their husbands left off, doing everything to running the rackets to (literally) taking out the competition…
