A Story of Sisters and Secrets
Based on Karin Slaughter’s bestselling novel, The Good Daughter is a suspenseful crime drama following two sisters, Charlotte (Fahy) and Samantha (Byrne) Quinn, whose lives were shattered by a brutal act of violence 28 years ago. After years of trying to rebuild, their world is thrown into chaos once again when a new attack shakes their small town of Pikeville. Charlotte, now a lawyer like her father, finds herself at the center of the case and must confront painful memories as dark truths come to light.
As the investigation unfolds, shocking revelations force both sisters to question whether the sacrifices they made to be 'the good daughter' were truly worth it.
