Tri ženy zdieľajúce osud s jedným mužom – exmanželka, súčasná manželka a milenka – sa musia spojiť, aby vytvorili nečakanú koalíciu proti nebezpečnému manipulátorovi. Imogen túži len po pokojnom rozvode s Phillipom, s ktorým ju už okrem spoločného syna nič nespája. Keď jej však pohrozí, že ju oberie o dom, stresová situácia ju donúti spraviť čosi nemysliteľné. Niečo, čím dostane situáciu pod kontrolu. Chtiac-nechtiac sa do toho musí zapojiť aj Phillipova súčasná priateľka Naomi a exmanželka Rachel, ktoré spočiatku Imogeniným tvrdeniam o Phillipovej šialenosti neveria. Keď však začína ísť o život, je jasné, že jediná cesta vpred je pustiť sa do nebezpečnej hry o právo na lepšiu budúcnosť bez manželovho teroru a jeho zvrátených predstáv o láske. Cukor a bič je majstrovsky napísaný psychotriler s nečakanými zvratmi.

Convinced of his innocence, Charlie said she was with him the night a young woman was killed. This sacrifice cost her everything. And now she has a chance to start again. But someone is watching her, waiting for her, wondering if she's really paid the price for what she did.
