Plot summary

What is A Simple Favor movie plot?

Here is a short review of "A Simple Favor" movie plot summary.

Widowed single mother Stephanie Smothers (Anna Kendrick) runs a vlog featuring crafts and recipes for parents. She becomes friends with Emily Nelson (Blake Lively), a PR director for a fashion company, and they exchange confessions over martinis. Stephanie shares that as a teenager, she had sex with her half-brother Chris (Dustin Milligan). Emily is frustrated by the lack of success of her husband, English professor Sean Townsend (Henry Golding), and their poor financial situation.
Stephanie babysits Emily's son while Sean is in London. After two days of Emily not returning calls, Stephanie learns from Emily's boss, Dennis Nylon (Rupert Friend), that Emily is in Miami. Stephanie calls Sean, who contacts the police. Trying to solve her disappearance, Stephanie makes missing person flyers using a photo of Emily that she found hidden on her desk.
Detective Summerville (Chris Owens) reports that Emily lied about flying to Miami, and her drowned body is discovered in the lake at a summer camp. Stephanie and Sean share their grief and begin a sexual relationship. Summerville reveals to Stephanie that Emily had severe liver damage, a large amount of heroin in her system, and that Sean had recently taken out $4 million life insurance on Emily.
Stephanie receives an insulting message apparently from Emily about her tryst with her half-brother. Stephanie recalls that her late husband suspected her infidelity and may have intentionally caused the car crash that killed both him and Chris. Investigating Emily's past, Stephanie meets Diana Hyland (Linda Cardellini), who painted a portrait of Emily. Diana says the painting is actually of her muse Claudia, whom she describes as a con artist who disappeared. Diana's information leads Stephanie to a yearbook showing Emily as Hope McLanden (Nicole Peters), with an identical twin named Faith McLanden (Lauren Peters). Their mother, Margaret (Lila Yee), explains that at 16 years old, the twins had set fire to the house, killing their father. Meanwhile, Emily surprises Sean and tells him she plans to collect the insurance money and leave the country.
