Their peaceful lives are upended though when little Nickie Montrose brings home a guy for the first time. For all these years, the family has kept a vital piece of information from Nickie: any guy a Montrose woman falls in love with will end up dead. Each woman is forced to face her own previous decisions and errors by their unexpected visitor.
