When Diane discovers her banker husband has a condo (with mistress) that he bought with their retirement funds, the Red Hats swing into action and plot to hang him with his own rope in a story that serves up laughter, elegant revenge, high school memories, long-lost loves, a suburban dominatrix, plenty of white wine and junk food and most of all, the power of friendship., Join the irrepressible women of The Red Hat Club as they don their red hats an purple outfits for a delicious serving of racy jokes, iced tea, and - most of all - lively support through the ups and downs of their lives.
