The Performance is a gripping tale of murder, money and power.

The Performance is a riveting and raw story following the lives of four very different women. Each woman has achieved a lot in their lives but they struggle with failed relationships, broken dreams, low self-esteem, and regret. While working as a personal trainer, Claire meets Edwina. Edwina is trying to get her life back on track after an abusive relationship with her husband leaves her feeling depressed and defeated. As the two women embark on a health journey together, they are each challenged by their own demons: addiction, abuse, or simply unhappiness. They soon realize that they have much more to gain from supporting one another than trying to compete against each other for validation
