The Lifetime TV movie Sister Cities, based on the play by Colette Freedman, is about four estranged sisters who are named after American cities and places — Carolina, Baltimore, Dallas, and Austin. They reunite at their family home in New England after their mother (Jacki Weaver) kills herself. Young Austin was there the day she died. She was taking care of her mother before she drowned herself in the tub. Not all of the sisters are pleased with the way Austin handled things.
