Storyline

Four estranged sisters reunite after their mother's alleged suicide. Mary Baxter (Weaver and Smart, at different ages) led an enviable life, traveling the world as a young dancer.She was blessed with four daughters from four different fathers, each as unique as the cities they are named after: Carolina (Katic), Austin (Weixler), Dallas (Trachtenberg) and Baltimore (Bellisario). After Mary's death, her daughters reunite in their New England family home to mourn. As the local police investigate the circumstances of Mary's death, old animosities among the sisters resurface, and a dark secret threatens to tear the family apart. Faced with a horrifying truth, the estranged sisters must choose to either turn their backs on the only family they have known, or risk everything to protect one another.

User Reviews

Interesting title, but very good Lifetime movie! 7 Stars from me!

This is a movie based upon a very controversial topic. Without giving too much away in the way of spoilers because their synopsis on this web page doesn't really give too much away either, all I want to say is kudos to the entire crew that worked on the production of this film. I'm certain many people consider their options in similar manners, but are too 'weak' to go through something like this. You have to watch this movie to form your own opinion though. Everyone will have their own take or spin on how they would have handled this. I think it's personal to the ones undergoing the 'diseases' and we should begin to heed their choices instead of our own personal choices. If we all had the freedom to make the choices we wanted to make on our own, without others, we'd be a much healthier world. But we tend to be too overbearing and controlling of others. People need their freedoms to move forward....or not! Let them be! Mother Mary will come to us speaking words of wisdom, let them be! Enjoy this film that is very well worth anyone's time to watch.
