Five women with different problems. Each one with courage and spunk but not always wisdom. Tessa Guthrie takes on an escaped convict who holds her hostage in her own home. Christine Rashard battles all odds as well as Mother Nature to rescue her husband. Julie ignores the danger she knows exists at the end of the path she has dreamed of all her life. Chief of Police Carole takes drastic actions to keep peace in the community. And young Judith lets her guilty conscience create terrors that exist only in her mind--or maybe not. Five women who do not sit back and wait for things to happen. But they don't always use good sense to get the results they seek.
