SYNOPSIS

​

Four best friends—ANGEL HENDRIDGE (53), SHIVONNE O'ROYDON (46), LORELEI McALLISTER (48), and their younger gay friend, LUKE LORENSON (32)—volunteer as school docents at an art museum. When they uncover a terrible secret, they take fate into their own hands and plan a daring heist that will alter the trajectory of their lives.

​

Each protagonist must confront that which she or he fears most to achieve their goal. For a modicum of courage, they assume the monikers—and attributes—of their favorite Greek gods. Angel, the brilliant mastermind heeled by debilitating depression, assumes the wisdom and strategy of Athena. Lorelei, the earth-mama with an ailing child and mounting debt, embodies the spirit of Demeter, goddess of nature and healing. Shivonne, the soft-spoken ex-ballerina trapped in an abusive marriage, transforms from the abducted Persephone into Artemis, goddess of the hunt. And Luke, the flamboyant graduate student still traumatized by adolescent gay conversion therapy, assumes the guise of Hermes, god of mischief and thievery. 

 

But where gods and goddesses are present, so, too, are the Fates—those spiteful bitches who love to scheme and interfere. And an overzealous FBI agent who is about to learn that one should never underestimate the underdog and never, ever, suggest a woman is past her prime.

 

Will the Olympians succeed? And why would the friends risk it all for such a daunting heist? Only time will tell, and Father Time is a bastard thief, himself.
