Four estranged sisters reunite after their mother's alleged suicide. Mary Baxter 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, Austin, Dallas and Baltimore. After Mary's death, her daughters reunite in their New England family home to mourn. Austin reveals the truth about their mother's 'suicide'. Old animosities among the sisters resurface, and the dark truth threatens to tear the family apart. As the local police investigate the circumstances of Mary's death, the estranged sisters must choose to either turn their back on the only family they have known, or risk everything to protect one another.
