Four Widows. Four Wishes. One Wild Adventure...
Sylvie barely had time to hang her black dress back in the closet before three widows from Wilder Lane appeared on her doorstep. And who has time to properly mourn when an adventure spanning the globe awaits?
After putting their own needs on the back burner to raise their families, Sylvie, Doris, Alice, and Marge struggle to find purpose now that their children are grown and their husbands are gone. Loneliness pushes them together as they knit away their golden years. Then one night, a whiskey-fueled pact catapults them onto the adventure of a lifetime.
Each widow gets one wish, one wild adventure she's dreamed of forever. With their wishes tucked inside their knitting basket, they pull them out one by one, vowing to make every single one happen--no matter how outrageous.
Hilarity ensues as these four fearless widows break all the rules, stare danger in the face, and prove that life doesn't end when retirement begins--it's just getting started. Between cops hot on their trail, near-death experiences, and a whole lot of laughter, The Wilder Widows soon find out that this second act might just be their best one yet.
