Women Who Kill

Morgan and Jean are popular hosts of a local true crime podcast focusing on female killers. They continue to live and work together professionally despite ending their romantic relationship. Their professional partnership remains the anchor of their lives.

While volunteering at the food co-op, Morgan meets Simone, who gives her phone number. The two begin dating, bringing a new, potentially dangerous dynamic into Morgan's life. The attraction draws Morgan deeper into a web of suspicion.

Grace, the lead organizer at the co-op, is found dead, with Simone among the last people to see her alive. Jean's suspicions about Simone intensify as she investigates. The mounting concern marks the first clear hint of a possible killer in their midst.

Jean digs into Simone's past and uncovers that her real name is Allison Walker. This revelation deepens Morgan's unease as the possibility that Simone is someone else entirely becomes more credible. Jean shares her findings with Morgan, widening the rift between them.

Jean confronts Morgan with the information and has her listen to an old podcast interview with the serial killer Josephine The Clipper Walker and the killer's remorse for the harm her crimes caused to her daughter Ally. The revelation deepens the tension between them and makes Morgan question Simone more seriously. Morgan's fear begins to override her skepticism as the mystery thickens.

Morgan's fear of Simone escalates as she experiences odd behaviors, including Simone setting off a kitchen fire alarm and finding a burnt passport photo fragment the next day. She notices Simone's anxious nail clipping and a disturbing fixation emerging. The sense of danger grows as Morgan's trust erodes.

Morgan notices Simone's nail obsession and an attempt to clip Morgan's nails. Jean has begun to doubt that Simone is the killer, influencing Morgan's perspective. Morgan's fears and Jean's evolving view create friction between the partners.

After attending her best friend Alex's bachelorette party, Morgan discovers a mysterious box at Simone's house containing a nail grooming kit and nail clippings with the six names of murdered girls. The chilling evidence confirms a killer motif and raises the stakes for Morgan's safety. Morgan decides to warn Jean about the discovery.

The morning after the party, Kim reports that Alex is missing. Morgan and Jean begin stalking Simone to uncover Alex's fate, hoping for answers. They instead encounter Alex alive, who accuses them of spinning a fantasy to justify their pursuit of drama.

Morgan visits Jean's apartment and learns Jean's new boyfriend says she went to the co-op with Simone. Morgan finds Jean unconscious on the ground; Simone claims Jean fell on her own. Morgan grips a knife, preparing to defend herself as danger tightens around them.

Simone asks Morgan what if I told you I did kill those people and hints at a life together. In the ensuing struggle, Simone accidentally impales herself on Morgan's knife. Jean regains consciousness to witness that Simone was innocent, and Morgan realizes she may have harmed the wrong person.

Morgan leaves the co-op with a blood-stained sweater and reflects on the events. The final scene centers on their podcast as they debate whether the killings were self-defense, deciding to poll their listeners for opinions. The film closes on the note that they live in a world where they dissociate from the victims as they profit from the stories.
