Together, they devise a chilling plan to end Clara's abusive marriage once and for all, setting off a chain of events that spirals into darkness.
However, just as their plan begins to take shape, an unexpected visitor arrives, throwing their calculated scheme into chaos. This new presence not only threatens their lives but also forces Clara and Maya to confront their own moral boundaries and the depth of their friendship.
