To the outside world, the Jordan sisters, Cherish (Keri Hilson) and Roxy (Keshia Chante), are the hottest singing duo on the charts. But behind closed doors, they face a home invasion. As detectives dig into the case, hidden conflicts and simmering rivalries within the celebrated duo come to light, threatening their carefully crafted public image.
Recap/Wine Thoughts
The movie starts with Keri Hilson (who is also an ex-producer of the movie) performing a Tiny Desk concert with her band and backup singer/sister, Roxy. They sing a gospel tribute to their dead father, and Keri Hilson out sings/shines her baby sister, who feels blindsided by the touching tribute. They are basically Jessica and Ashlee Simpson.
With their Vegas residency coming to a close, Keri Hilson does publicity organized by their cousin. The interviewer seems more interested in Keri Hilson and her fans, who are called “The Flock.” Roxy plays second fiddle. The reporter brings up a rumor that Roxy is having an affair with Brian, their manager, and Keri Hilson’s husband, Roxy storms off the set.
Roxy goes to a bar and is upset by the rumor that she is hooking up with her brother-in-law. Brian joins her at the bar to talk her down. Roxy says she has always lived in Keri Hilson’s shadow, and her father pitted them against one another. Brian begs Roxy to play nice with her sister and keep the business going. (The public meeting just fuels the rumors more.)
Keri Hilson sings- part 2 (Will she be releasing a soundtrack for this movie)
Keri Hilson sings part 3. (This time, while filming a very moody music video) Roxy is there, too, but in the background.
Roxy fires her assistant/social media for sharing the rumors about the sisters online.
Brian tries to get back in Keri Hilson’s good graces (while shirtless) by telling her she no longer needs to tour and that they can start a family. Roxy doesn’t follow the plan and refuses to extend their residency.
OMG, ok! This took a turn! Some burglars break into the house and hold Keri Hilson and Brian at gun point.
Meanwhile, Roxy is at a bar flirting with Lil Romeo. They vent about being famous, and I can relate! They come home and find Keri Hilson tied up and Brian bloody on the floor. Romeo flees the scene and asks Roxy to cover for him.
Detectives arrive and ask questions, and the cousin/PR rep shuts down questions directed at Keri Hilson, leaving Roxy alone. The detective can tell Roxy is lying about something and looks into her more. The public gets wind of their suspicion and accuses Roxy of trying to take Brian out.
Brian is in a coma, and Keri Hilson cries by his bedside for the rest of the movie. (Maybe she will sing again.)
Roxy and Romeo try to get their story straight while he wears a cowboy hat. Then she hits the pawn shop looking for stolen jewelry and, more importantly, who brought it in. The pawn shop owner tells Roxy that a woman came in with the ring, and she bought a gun. The woman turns out to be Roxy’s assistant.
Detectives pull security footage from the night of the robbery and see Romeo on the video. The detectives question him, and he lies to protect his reputation. They totally miss the assistant attacking Roxy in the hallway. Roxy sprays her former assistant with pepper spray, and the incident clears her in the eyes of the detectives.
Roxy tries to get her stuff out of the house, but she is not allowed back in because the Cousin/PR rep won’t let Roxy get into the house. Roxy realizes that the Cousin/PR is trying to get Roxy out of the picture and framed Roxy for orchestrating the break-in.
The cousin/PR rep, of course, is behind everything. She hired the assistant to attack Roxy and spins the PR to make her and Keri Hilson look like Roxy’s victims. The cousin/PR rep also started the cheating rumors. Keri Hilson can’t write without Roxy helping her. The Cousin/PR Rep wants to steal Roxy’s notebook.
Roxy works with the reporter from earlier in the movie to clear her name. The reporter pretends to sit with Keri Hilson to promote the Vegas residency but ambushes them in the interview with the assistant. The reporter exposes what the Cousin/PR Rep was doing. Keri Hilson is aware of this and has been working with her cousin the whole time.
Roxy overhears her sister and cousin arguing and realizes things are worse than she thought. When the Cousin/PR Rep pulls a gun on Keri Hilson, Roxy jumps out of the closet to save her sister. Detectives rush in, but Roxy ends up being shot.
Roxy sings part #1
Brian is out of his coma and watches the small jazz show that Roxy puts on. He is impressed and wishes Roxy success.
Roxy has to testify at her sister’s trial. She asks them to be lenient on Keri Hilson, which is big on her part. Keri Hilson is released, and they sing a duet to end the movie, finally.
STRAY Thoughts
Keri Hilson is way more natural in front of the camera than I thought she would be.
This movie goes for shocking twists over establishing characters we care about.
