Synopsis

Kellie (Erin Daly) and Lannie (Eve Lorraine) see their single mother (Mary Beth Barber) killed by her boyfriend during an argument when they are 13 and 14 years old. They are sent to live with an uncle (Ron Millkie), and soon detest his wife (Laura Haywood) since she gives preferential treatment to her son (Ryan Murphy) and resents their being in her home. Violence is the only way the two sisters know how to handle problems, so they kill the aunt. Their uncle promptly takes them out of his home because he fears for his son's safety. The two sisters are placed in a sanitarium and diagnosed with bipolar 1 disorder, which is a form of manic depression.

After five years, the two sisters are now 18 and 19 years old and released from the sanitarium because their doctor (Archie Graham) insists "they are better," even though a nurse (Celeste Yarnall) disagrees. Soon after their release, they see their uncle has sold the home they lived in, and go to college where Kellie makes friends and has a boyfriend (Kyle Decoque). Lannie becomes jealous and uses violence to deal with the problems. Kellie is "the nice one," but also has wicked tendencies.
