Is it just something about Lifetime movies that the parents usually are well-off and have big houses? Ahem, anyhow, it's something about Ashley Scott that just makes you like and respect her as an actress and a woman. The movie has recently divorced mother, Christine (Ashley), who is now on shaky terms with her ex-husband, Jason (Ivan). Christine meets Nick Reese (George Newbern) at a park like event and they seem to connect, having similar love lives, as both their exes seemingly cheated on them. Christine soon invites him to live in her guest house, something that angers both her ex husband and one of her male partners (Jay Pickett) at work. Right here is where you see that there is a would-be unnecessary love triangle. It is revealed that Nick is a conman who is hired and was represented by Christine's ex husband the attorney. Jason is hoping to prove Christine an unfit guardian and have full custody turned over to himself. Nick starts to thinking, hey, this may not be right and things take a turn for the worst, leading Nick to run over Eric (which later gives away his persona), take Christine's son hostage, shoot his ex- prison mate and murder Jason. (in no chronological order, of course). I think Lifetime should use the term 'Crime Drama' loosely, as most of the thinking is done for you and they give you a glimpse into Nick's true doings too soon, in my opinion. Also, you would think these people would learn how to hold onto a gun by now.
