Playing for Keeps is a fresh, contemporary, and glamorous murder mystery set on the side lines of football, told from the unique perspective of the real power players: the women. The wives and girlfriends of professional athletes have their own games to play. Away from the grandstands and the locker rooms the real action is on the red carpets, in the beauty salons, and in designer bedrooms. It’s love, power, and status all the way— until the death of a team member adds investigation into the mix. This bold and brassy Australian series depicts the lives of the rich and famous, in a world full of lies, scandals, and possibly even murder.
