Cheryl and Laura decide to pool their substantial divorce settlements and buy a hotel. When the women find out that each secretly harbours a desire to run an upmarket bordello, they seize the opportunity to turn St Jude's into a bawdy funhouse for both sexes, where fantasies - from the mild to the increasingly perverse - are indulged. But when attractive, sinister John Dempsey comes on the scene, Cheryl is smitten, but Laura is convinced he's out to con them, or report them to the authorities or both. Which of the women is right? And will their friendship - and their business - survive?
