Don't listen to the other reviews saying this is a bad movie. It's one of those rare GOOD Lifetime flicks. It would've been even better with someone else playing Jenny's mother, since any one of my livingroom lamps can act better and show more emotion than Laurie Fortier (if that's her name?).
The story was unique and well done - my favorite genre: psychological thriller. Cathy Moriarty was excellent, as was Sam Meader, who I'd never heard of before but he practically stole the spotlight. The younger brother played by Joey Luthman was very good also - being torn between staying miserable but loyal to his family or breaking away from them and their criminal ways.
And as with all Lifetime movies, there has to be at least one good, caring character that gets killed off, unfortunately; in this case proving yet again that no good deed goes unpunished. But I rarely cringe when it happens in most of the other movies like I did this one.
Lastly, it's very interesting/intriguing that it was "inspired by a true story" as it said in the very beginning..
