SHOW DESCRIPTION:
Linda, Trudy and Gail have been friends since high school. They’re willing to do almost anything to support each other – including break into the cabin that Linda once shared with her now exhusband to grab an item that she thinks is rightfully hers. Since the divorce, Rob has earned millions with his wearable tech invention – smart underwear that can control your home. The cabin invasion soon becomes complicated as wine, women and high tech lingerie collide.
