Sisters Hide Mom's Body Amid Opioid Crisis

A gripping drama unfolds as two sisters, Jessie and Spider, are thrust into a harrowing situation following their mother Jacey's fatal overdose. To circumvent the looming threat of separation by the child welfare system, the siblings embark on a desperate plan to conceal their mother's body. Fifteen-year-old Spider, accustomed to her mother's addiction, takes charge, attempting to manage their household and fend off predatory figures.

Eleven-year-old Jessie offers a contrast with her youthful resilience, while both young actresses, Jojo Regina and Mckenna Grace, deliver notable performances. Despite their efforts, the film falters in building suspense, with underdeveloped supporting characters and a plot strained by its central implausibility: hiding a decomposing body for weeks. The narrative shifts between stark realism and melodrama, ultimately failing to fully explore the profound impact of the opioid crisis on American families.
