Synopsis:
Based on the beloved novel by Iris Rainer Dart and the iconic 1988 film, Beaches tells the sweeping, 30-year story of an unlikely lifelong friendship. It all begins under the boardwalk in Atlantic City, where the brassy, Bronx-born aspiring star Cee Cee Bloom (Jessica Vosk) meets the refined and privileged Bertie White (Kelli Barrett).
Despite being "oil and water," the two become inseparable pen pals, eventually moving to New York City as roommates to chase their dreams. As the decades pass, their bond is tested by career jealousies, romantic rivalries, and personal tragedies. From the heights of stardom to the quietest moments of heartbreak, Beaches is a joy-filled yet tear-jerking celebration of the "soulmate" connection found in female friendship
