Helmed by Linden Ashby, ‘Secrets Between Sisters’ is a thriller movie about Cassie, a young woman haunted by her sister’s mysterious death at an underground club. Soon after learning about her sister’s tragic fate, Cassie realizes that there is a lot more to the obscurity in her sibling’s past than she is aware of. As she embarks on a relentless search for the truth, Cassie finds herself ensnared in a dangerous network of lies and hidden agendas. The deeper she digs, the more shocking revelations emerge — not only about her sister’s hidden life but also about those around her.
