The series follows Amanda Vaughn (Leslie Bibb), former high-school "Queen Bitch," a recently widowed mother of two, who returns to her hometown of Highland Park, Texas, an enclave of Dallas. Formerly rich, Amanda lost everything when her husband was exposed as stealing billions of dollars from investors and died in a car crash with his mistress. She meets the former schoolmates she used to mock: Carlene Cockburn the new "Queen Bitch"; Sharon Peacham, who was beautiful in high school and is now heavy and insecure and does the bulk of Carlene's bidding; glamorous gossip queen Cricket Caruth-Reilly, whose husband, Blake, is gay; and Heather Cruz, a powerful Dallas real-estate agent.
Amanda and her teenage children move in with her 50-something mother Gigi Stopper, who tries to influence Amanda's parenting and style choices, and gives her advice about strategic maneuvering among these women. While Amanda has grown considerably since high school and wants to move on with her life, Carlene and the others still resent Amanda. They don't believe she's changed and are out to drive her away.
The storyline follows her pursuit to make right all of her worngs she's accumulated in the past and meanwhile attepting to rebuild her life in the balance. This show is definitely my guiltiest pleasure. As much as I hate it, some Texans act the way they are protrayed in the show, and its HILARIOUS. The show has even become the topic of many controversies surrounding the show's stances on religion and to some extents religious activist have petitioned to get the show removed from the air because, of what they feel, its negative portrayal of people and religion.
