This movie is bad and cringy, which is exactly why it's a TV movie. The plot is somewhat interesting, but the execution is poor. The story begins with Derek manufacturing a car crash that kills his parents and girlfriend; and ending up in a mental institution soon afterwards. Derek's twin brother Tyler joins girlfriend Jocelyn, neighbor Jake, for her mother Ashely's birthday dinner. During dinner, the young couple reveal that they're going overseas for an independent study trip in Japan. During the hospital visit, Derek attacks Tyler, swapped their clothes, and escapes. Now Derek, the evil twin, pretends to be Tyler and returns to the real world. Of course, everyone is too lacking in intelligence to be able to figure this out or do something about it. They just go on about their life until Derek drugs Jocelyn and takes her to his family cabin in attempt to rape her and murder her. The mental institution then discovers that the locked up one is actually Tyler not Derek because of a distinct birth mark. At this point, you may wonder, how have these people not figured this whole thing out already. Let me kindly remind you that this is a TV movie, kay? Moving on with the story, Derek then ties Jocelyn up in the cabin. At this crucial moment, the mom, Jake, and Tyler arrive soon and save the day.
