Description

Gemma loathes her sleazy boss; Jo is her confidante. On a double date with Rick and Jake, they discuss forming a mutual murder society, in jest, of course. The next day, Jo, walking on Selsey Beach, discovers the corpse of a drowned woman, a stranger.

Then Gemma and Jo discover the corpse of Fiona, Gemma’s annoying colleague from work. Gemma’s boss is missing. When an older woman with whom Rick was involved is drowned in her pool, the police begin to close in.

Can this outbreak of deaths by drowning be coincidental? Or has the joke gone too far?
