Five Southern women, whose friendships began many years ago on their college swim team, meet for a long weekend every August…for over 30 years. Free from husbands, kids, and jobs, they sojourn to North Carolina's Outer Banks to catch up, laugh, and meddle in each other's lives. One struggles with “perfection”. One aspires to a personal life as ordered as her courtroom. One is determined to hold on to her youth and has the marriages to prove it. And one arrives with some startling news! And as they work through the challenges of men, sex, marriage, parenting, divorce, and aging, they rally ‘round their own with the strength and love that makes this a comedy about friendships that last forever.
Sheree Hollinger is the perennial team captain, is practical, supportive and a fount of boundless energy. Never without her to-do lists or Pocket Scheduler, her tendency to be hyper-organized occasionally drives her friends a bit crazy. She’s the eternal tomboy, a health nut and an all-American mom who lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, with her family.
Dinah Grayson is the wise-cracking cynic of the group, has fought her way to the top and relishes the view. A lawyer in the biggest and most prestigious law firm in Atlanta, Dinah excels at everything … except romance. Armed with a dry martini and an even drier sense of humor, Dinah seldom reveals her softer side as she tackles life head-on.
Lexie Richards is from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, is the delightfully vain, youth obsessed event planner for a chain of four-star hotels. She has never shied away from the occasional nip or tuck and keeps her cosmetic surgeon on speed dial. Always one to revel in her status as a man-magnet, Lexie can be counted on to share wild and hilarious tales of her romantic exploits.
Jeri Neal McFeeley is the ditzy ray of sunshine of the group. She’s perky and naive and always sees the positive side of everything. Having been a nun for many years, Jeri Neal, recently relocated to Roanoke, Virginia, continually makes life choices that surprise and amaze her friends.
Vernadette Simms is a hard luck case if there ever was one. Marriage and motherhood came shortly after college, a dark cloud has hovered above her ever since. A public school teacher, with limited finances and a problematic home life in Spivey’s Corner, North Carolina, Vernadette is self-deprecating by necessity. She faces her tribulations with gallows humor and the unwavering support of these lifelong friends.
