      Amikor két, egymással a végsőkig versengő nővér bekerül egy valóságshowba, az egyikük hasznot húz belőle, a másik pedig nem éri meg a forgatás végét. A Goal Diggers – A siker amazonjai című, fiatal és sikeres vállalkozónők életét bemutató népszerű tévéműsor producerei fordulatos, intrikákban, szövetségekben, valamint árulásokban gazdag negyedik évadra számítanak. Ezek a hozzávalók, illetve a kamerák előtti és mögötti cicaharcok repítették a műsort a nézettségi listák élére, és tették közismertté a szereplők nevét. De senki sem sejtette, hogy az örök kedvenc, Brett holtan végzi, és azt sem, hogy ennyi szereplőtársának volt indítéka meggyilkolni őt. És Kelly sem ártatlan…
