Why Women Kill details the lives of three women living in three different decades: a housewife in the '60s, a socialite in the '80s and a lawyer in 2018, each dealing with infidelity in their marriages. The series will examine how the roles of women have changed, but how their reaction to betrayal... has not.
Teresa Mendoza falls in love with a drug cartel member in Mexico but is forced to flee to America after he is murdered. She teams up with a past acquaintance to take down the drug ring after her.
Teresa starts her own drug empire, becoming one of the world's wealthiest women. She learns that money doesn't solve everything and must rely on herself to stay ahead and alive.
