Everything comes at a price. But not everything can be paid for…

Millie is a college student, determined to graduate, get a job and buy a house. Agatha is a visiting professor, researching attitudes towards weddings and money for her new book. The thing is, in Millie's world, the best material is unfolding behind closed doors.

When Agatha offers Millie an unusual opportunity to make some extra money, the two women find themselves embroiled in a world of vengeful pranks, illicit intrigue and bad behaviour. But how much of themselves are they willing to trade to get what they want?
