Superior

When Marian is on the run, she goes to the only place she knows is safe: her childhood home. She is greeted by her estranged twin sister, Vivian, a stay-at-home housewife struggling to conceive and on the verge of a failing marriage. Though the two are identical twins, they live opposite lives. Marian’s mysterious return disrupts Vivian’s small-town routine, and the sisters must learn to reconnect and reconcile. When Marian's haunting past finally catches up to her, their separate worlds collide, catapulting both sisters into grave danger. “The movie is kind of a spell, and once people are in, we can’t break that.” (Editor Jenn Ruff)
