Synopsis:
In Other Desert Cities, an affluent, fractious Palm Springs family led by Reagan-like Hollywood Republicans has their Christmas reunion shattered when left-leaning daughter Brooke reveals her intention to publish an explosive family memoir. It is a tell-all book that dredges up a pivotal and tragic event in the family’s history that would surely tarnish her parents’ political and social reputations. Soon, ideological differences, all-but-forgotten slights and painful memories become near-lethal weapons in a war of wit and words that threatens to shatter the entire family as a closely guarded secret is revealed.
