Paige (Stacie Harrison, CIFF 2020 Selection MARLENE), and Jessie's (Kirsten Lankester, GUITAR LESSONS) lives are shattered when their mother’s troubled personal life leads her to perpetrate a horrific crime. With their world blown apart, the sisters’ intensely personal reactions drive them to lead separate lives. Twenty years later, Paige must move past her pursuit of professional success when she stumbles across new information which makes her reconsider her mother’s past and casts doubt on everything she thought she knew. This startling new information leads the sisters down a dangerous rabbit hole of lies and deception. With the help of Brennan (Stafford Perry, TRIBAL, BLACK SUMMER), a cop and childhood friend, the sisters must band together to overcome the past. But can Paige and Jessie stay alive long enough to expose the truth?
