They're sisters, but blood may be the only thing they have in common. When Faith, a soap opera diva, is killed off her show, "The Sacred and the Sinful," she flees the tabloids by moving to the suburbs with her sister, Hope's, family. Hope, a homemaker with three children, makes room for her celebrity sister, whose constant schemes usually end up backfiring. The series is based loosely on the life of creator Joanna Johnson, formerly an actress on "The Bold and the Beautiful."
