Having an estranged sibling is difficult enough without adding murder to the mix. In The Better Sister, Chloe (Jessica Biel) and Nicky (Elizabeth Banks) avoid each other at all costs, but when the murder of Adam (Corey Stoll), a mutual lover, forces them together to confront their pasts, old skeletons escape closets, and the list of suspects gets longer.
