Synopsis

Lillian Kupersmith and Cydney Mallone have not spoken in 15 years. Former best friends and business partners, they run into each other at the funeral of a mutual enemy- the woman who stole Cydney's man and Lillian's inheritance. Unexpectedly stuck in a wrecked car on an unplowed road, the two women tell the stories of their interwoven pasts in order to stay awake. But as these "bedtime" stories unfold, it becomes clear that a far greater danger lurks, and the stories themselves take on new urgency in a new light.
