Centering on the Wyeth family of Palm Springs, Other Desert Cities sees what happens daughter Brooke (Griffiths) has written a tell-all memoir.
In OTHER DESERT CITIES, Brooke Wyeth (Rachel Griffits, Brothers and Sisters) returns home to Palm Springs to visit her parents (Stockard Channing, Grease and Stacy Keach, American History X) after a six-year absence. A once-promising novelist, she announces to her family the imminent publication of a memoir dredging up a pivotal and tragic event in the family's history - a wound that her parents don't want reopened.
Brooke has come home to draw a line in the sand and is daring her family to cross it. Her brother Trip (Thomas Sadoski) won't play her game; her aunt (Judith Light) knows way too much, and her parents fall into all their old routines as they plead with her to keep their story quiet. In this family, secrets are currency and everyone is rich.
