In this series based on a book by Kim Gatlin, a devastating divorce sends Amanda Vaughn (Leslie Bibb) and her teenage children back to her hometown, where she must face her past. Once the queen of mean, Amanda has changed her ways but it is unclear whether her former classmates are willing to let bygones be bygones or take the opportunity to kick her while she is down. Amanda's former peers who welcome her (or not) back to town include former ugly duckling Carlene Cockburn and Cricket Caruth-Reilly, a tough-as-nails businesswoman whose boyfriend Amanda stole and later married.
