Cast

STELLA WILD, MBA (over 40) Stockbroker convicted of insider trading. Made millions on Wall Street. Her assets are safely hidden in off-shore accounts until the time comes when she can, once again, enjoy them. Stella is the "unofficial" boss or "Diva-In-Charge".

ROSEMARY ADAMS, ESQ. (over 40) Banking lawyer/Former Bank VP. JD/MBA in Finance. Convicted of skimmed and reallocated mortgage funds; well invested in property and off-shore accounts. Rosie, brilliant in her own right, is the "kind-hearted and compassionate Diva."

LINDA ROBERTSON, M.D., Ph.D. (over 40) MD and former Senior Vice President of Fielweil HMO. Convicted of defrauding Medicaid in managaed care scandal. Formerly a world-renowned cardiologist, Linda is the "neurotic Diva".

BETH ZIEGLER, MBA (early to mid 30's) Information technology wizard. Convicted of internet/mail fraud. Sold commodities that didn't exist via the internet and made a fortune. She has come to the end of her sentence. Beth is the calm, cool and collected "Diva."

LUCILLE (30 - 40) Prison Guard by day; MBA student by night. The Delval Divas, her friends and mentors, provided Lucille with the confidence she needs to succeed in life. Lucille is the "Diva with the attitude". She has a tough and gutsy exterior but a tender interior.

SHARON WATSON (late 20's, early 30's) Hairdresser. Arrested and charged with killing her ex-husband's third wife. Sharon remsembles a "slightly younger" and "plainer" version of Beth. She is timid and not nearly as worldly as the other divas. Sharon is the sweet, nice and "innocent" Diva.

Stella Wild, MBA, Rosemary Adams, JD/MBA, Linda Robertson, M.D.,Ph.D., and Beth Ziegler, MBA, have some things in common. Besides being educated, successful, professional women, they also share the same address. It isn't a swanky high rise apartment building or a beachfront condo - they reside at the Delaware Valley Federal Correctional Facility, a low-level security prison for white and "pink" collar criminals.

With the Warden in one pocket and their cell block guard in another, the "Divas" continue to indulge their lavish and luxurious lifestyles until Beth is prematurely released and a murderess moves in to her place. Adding insult to injury, the Department of Corrections has announced its intention to close the Delval facility due to mismanagement and relocate inmates to the less-than-glamorous Black Rock Federal Prison.

Find out how the Divas save Deval, solve a murder and reunite on a Roman holiday? Who ever said that crime doesn't pay?
