Cissie Colpitts drowns her cheating husband and, in the ensuing cover-up, enlists the help of lonely coroner Henry Madgett, an old friend with a longstanding weakness for her charms. But when Cissie's daughter and granddaughter—both also named Cissie Colpitts—decide to resort to the same methods for solving conflicts with their own frustrating husbands, the women and their repeated appeals for help begin to wear on Madgett's conscience.
VIBE
A darkly funny, off-kilter British caper. It’s a wry, melancholic look at life, death, and the absurd lengths people go to for inheritance, all wrapped in a quirky, period aesthetic.
