When they were little girls, Kamilah and Denise were always at each other's throats. The fact that they were sisters didn't matter to either one of them. Years later, as they meet at Mama's funeral, they realize not much has changed. Denise is still living her life, hating the ghetto she came from while Kamilah refuses to leave it.
The Goode Sisters explores what happens when two women dig up dirt on each other, name call and fight in the name of jealousy and deceit.
