Lifetime's new thriller flick, Twisted Sister, is all set to premiere on the channel on Friday, March 24, 2023. The movie tells the story of a prominent PR executive whose seemingly peaceful and perfect life turns upside down after a woman claiming to be her half-sister reaches out to her.

Here's a brief description of the movie, according to Lifetime:

''Emily is a successful PR executive who seems to have everything going for her: she owns her own firm, has a wealthy inheritance, and a beautiful daughter. Even couples therapy is going really well and her husband, Kyle, is about to move back in. So, when a woman named Lily shows up on Emily’s doorstep claiming to be her half-sister, Emily takes her in with open arms.''

The description further reads,

''Kyle, however, starts acting strange. Lily agrees to take a DNA test, but in the meantime Emily and her new sister get to know each other–they hang out, run errands together, and Emily even invites Lily to start working at the firm. She is family after all. Emily is suddenly poisoned and Kyle blames Lily. But, after Lily’s DNA test comes back as a match, Emily thinks her husband may be the culprit since therapy has taken a turn. When Emily is completely at a loss as to who she can trust, Lily explains everything.''

The movie stars Mena Suvari in the lead role, along with several others portraying important supporting characters. The film is helmed by Patricia Frontain.
