It’s a story about a terrible old white guy who had everything but is not satisfied and is the worst of the worst. The women are not self confident and fight over this trash person. The women realize they need to leave the trash and grow. Some decide to become trash themselves. I don’t love how the women are written and wish they grew in a more authentic way. But I still couldn’t stop listening so I think it’s a good mystery.
