Elfrieda, a world-renowned pianist, glamorous, wealthy, happily married: she wants to die. Yolandi, divorced, broke, sleeping with the wrong men as she tries to find true love: she desperately wants to keep her older sister alive.

As the situation becomes ever more complicated, Yoli faces the most terrifying decision of her life.
