The twin sisters Catherine and Lizzy Ward Thomas are among the elite of modern country artists – consistently brilliant, innovative and inspired.

Observational and opinionated, it documents their coming of age in an era of anxiety and the impact of social media on a generation for which ‘the truth’ has become a tenuous term.
