Lady Hunters is a dark comedy thriller about three friends on a moms’ weekend retreat to upstate NY, who learn that a notorious gang rapist has been released from prison nearby. Incensed by the atrocious nature of the crime against a teenaged girl, and incarceration of only one of its perpetrators, the women find themselves novice killers and arbiters of justice.
