Behind the pristine gates of Hidden Hills, four desperate women discover that husbands may be worth more dead than alive, but that murder, like marriage, is always a lot messier in practice.

He’s Gotta Go is a satirical domestic thriller about four women, one dark night, and the dangerous line between fantasizing about murder and the horrifying messy reality of the real thing.

Behind the pristine gates of Hidden Hills, Nina Simmons is drowning. Her marriage is dead, her finances a mess, her daughters struggling, and her mother-in-law declining. Then a terrible but calming thought occurs to her. He’s gotta go.

Nina’s spent years watching true crime, which means she knows how people get murdered, and more importantly how not to get caught. If she were to do the unthinkable, she would have to be very, very careful.

But Nina isn’t the only woman harboring secrets. There’s the glamorous new neighbor whose perfect life might be a sham, a private investigator desperate to escape corporate purgatory, and an artist whose appetites are exceeding her judgment.

What follows is a four-POV darkly funny spiral of sex, money, lies, marriage, motherhood, and terrible decisions, as four women discover that fantasizing about murder is one thing.

Getting away with it is another.
