About The Cougar Club
Meet three women who aren’t about to run and hide just because the world says they should be on the shelf and out of circulation.
KAT
Her life seems perfect until she loses her high-powered advertising job and catches her live-in lover in a compromising position—with his computer!
CARLA
This sexy TV news anchor is in danger of being replaced by a twenty-something blond bimbo. Wasn’t it just yesterday that she was the up-and-coming star?
ELISE
A married dermatologist, Elise thinks her plastic surgeon husband is playing doctor with someone else.
Kat firmly believes that aging gracefully isn’t about giving up; it’s about living life with your engine on overdrive. So this unofficial “Cougar Club” quickly learns three things about survival of the fittest in today’s youth-obsessed society: True friendship never dies, the only way to live is real, and you’re never too old to follow your heart.
