What happens in A Simple Favor?

In a friendly twist, Stephanie – a thoughtful vlogger with a touch of self-awareness – meets the formidably influential Emily at her child’s school. One fateful day, when Emily vanishes without a trace, Stephanie becomes determined to uncover the truth behind her disappearance.

In the meantime, Emily travels to Michigan to meet up with her long-forgotten sister, Hope. It has been years since they last saw each other, following an incident where they set fire to a part of their old family home with the intention of killing their abusive dad, Bruce.

When Emily shows up, Hope requests a huge sum of money from her. If Emily fails to give her sister this amount, Hope threatens to report to the police about their father’s incident. To ensure her own safety, Emily murders Hope in the nearby lake, subsequently placing her own wedding ring on her sister’s finger to create an illusion that it was Emily who perished.

Emily concocts a scheme to benefit from her $4 million life insurance policy. Eventually, Stephanie and Emily’s husband, Sean (Golding), become aware of Emily’s intentions, leading them to collaborate with law enforcement in an attempt to secure Emily’s admission of guilt. Ultimately, the police apprehend Emily.
