Sisters are always there for each other ...aren't they? Anna, Bett and Carrie were childhood singing stars - the Alphabet Sisters. As adults they haven't spoken for years.

But just as the rifts begin to close, the Alphabet Sisters face a test none of them ever imagined. An unforgettable story of three women who learn that being true to themselves means being true to each other.
