Grace, Meg, and Daphne, all in their seventies, are enjoying a cup of tea in a cafA©, when seventeen-year-old Nina stumbles in. Shea�TMs clearly distraught and running from someone, so the three women think nothing of hiding her when a suspicious-looking man starts asking if theya�TMve seen her. Once alone, Nina tells the women a little of what shea�TMs running from. The need to protect her is immediate, and Grace, Meg, and Daphne vow to do just this. But how? They soon realize there is only one answer: murder. So begins the tale of the three most unlikely murderers-in-the-making, and may hell protect anyone who underestimates them.
