A dark comedy following a female con-artist who gets men to fall in love with her, marries them and then disappears with their money and just enough dirty inside information to guarantee they will never go to the police. But things get complicated when she falls in love with her latest mark, and three of her last victims join together to track her down.
"White Collar Wives"
Written by Vanessa Reisen ("Extant,""Weeds") for Adjacent Productions with Jane Tranter and Julie Gardner serving as Executive Producers.
As Bastion Capital, one of the most successful hedge funds in New York City, begins to crumble from rumors of insider trading, the women married to the financial elite will do anything to save themselves.
