Marion Zane is the top Trophy—she has it all: a faithful husband,
loyal fellow-Trophy girlfriends, queen-bee status over the Hollywood
"name-above-the-title" charities, and—best of all—no prenup! She
knows inside information is king, smiles hide jealousy, jackals lure
husbands away (or, worse, steal personal assistants), housekeepers
have the power to destroy, and that everyone has devastating
secrets—including her! It's why she refuses to gossip yet remembers
everything. So why is she so nervous? Maybe it's because, after years
of unchallenged social position, Marion forgets that in L.A., even
enemies embrace—especially ones disguised as girlfriends. When she
impulsively champions building a much-needed trauma center hospital
downtown, Marion breaks the unwritten code by stepping on another
Trophy's charity turf. It's a fatal mistake. Her furious and jealously
bitter "girlfriend" joins forces with a powerful mystery partner to
destroy Marion. Drugged and framed as unfaithful and insane, she loses
her dream life in one lurid, unforgivable humiliation. Abandoned by
her husband, her deepest secrets exposed, Marion is left shattered and
literally penniless in paradise. Determined to build the hospital and
regain her love, lifestyle, and dermatologist, Marion goes to
hilarious lengths to hide her newfound poverty from even her closest
friends, living out of her luxury car and using Magic Marker for
eyeliner as she raises hospital funding at five-star restaurants.
Fortunately, Marion's loyal, lusty Trophy girlfriends discover her
condition through her overwhelmed maid and come to her rescue,
employing ferocious manipulation skills, ridiculous logic, and
much-needed dermabrasion. Redirecting the same competitive hyperdrive
that won the rocks on their fingers, the girls make Marion their new
project even as they deal with their own crises. Still, all the Trophy
support in the world might not be able to stop Marion from betraying
one of them; then her mystery enemy is revealed and she's given the
choice of re-enthronement or vilification. After all, she's a survivor
and didn't become Marion Zane by fair play alone.
