The Girlfriends Club

It's the eve of Mary Sue's birthday and Gretchen, Dixie, Pamela, and she are gathered at the lakeside cabin where The Girlfriends Club has sought refuge for years. But this time, the mood is less than celebratory as Mary Sue is due for a mastectomy the following day. The girls try to keep their spirits rolling, but when someone else arrives who thinks he knows what's best for Mary Sue, it's up to The Girlfriends Club to take matters into their own hands to protect their friend...even if that means having to keep a secret that might tear them apart.
