Brides in Smoke

Two wives escape abusive husbands after a deadly anniversary betrayal.

On their third anniversary, Ella is trapped in a burning room by Charles's first love. Her husband, a firefighter, ignores her screams to retrieve his ex's cat. Leah breaks in to pull Ella out and calls Noah, a doctor, begging him to save Ella and her unborn child. He responds with laughter. After years of silent suffering, the best friends walk into a lawyer's office side by side to file for divorce from the Harper brothers.
