Synopsis (via Lifetime)
After waking up from a coma, Alice has no memory. As she learns the horrible truths about her past self, she must fight for redemption.
Thoughts
The movie begins with a woman trashing a room and then looking at herself in the mirror.
Cut to a hospital rushing in a patient and attempting to save her life from a gunshot to the head. The woman’s name is Alice, and she wakes up in the hospital with no memory after three months in a coma. Her husband Peter is by her side. He wants to help and is very aggressive/mysterious.
Alice goes back home with Peter, but everything is unfamiliar and confusing. She is surprised to learn that she has a tattoo and can play the piano. Peter pours Alice some wine, and she is happy to learn that she likes it! He tells her about herself. Then he leaves for the store.
Alone in the house, Alice is confronted by a man named Darren. He tells her that she was cheating on her husband with him. They were planning to run away together. Alice can’t believe that she would cheat on her husband then she faints.
The next day Alice meets with the detective, who shows her the crime scene and says that the gunshot wound could have been self inflicted. Flashes of memories come to Alice, but nothing is certain. She meets up with Darren to help her figure things out. (She has four wedding rings in her jewelry box.) Darren tells Alice that they were both orphans, and she was unhappy in her marriage because Peter was abusive.
Alice asks Peter about the rings, and he gets angry, accusing her of marrying him for money. She has more memory flashes from men she has wronged in the past. Her Dark Past…
When Peter goes out of town, Alice searching through his office and finds nothing. (She makes a huge mess and lies on all the papers tho!) After a bubble bath, she finds a boot with the tattoo she has on the cover. Alice flips through the pages and finds a deed inside. Then she drives up to a cabin and finds a hole in the wall that matches a memory from Alice’s mind.
The police arrest Peter when the murder weapon is recovered, and the gun turns out to be registered to him.
Darren and Alice spend time together with Peter in jail. Alice starts to not trust Darren either. He wants to create a joint account and run off together.
An old friend comes forward and tells the police that Alice seduces married men and extorts them for money. She uses fake names and takes men up to the cabin.
Darren realizes that Alice might have her memory back and takes her up to the cabin and ties her up. He tells her of all the men she wronged. Things get confusing, and I’m not really sure how Darren is involved. All I know is he is a bad guy, and Alice isn’t so innocent either. They did it all for the money. Alice knocks him out with a crowbar and calls the police.
This movie is still going? Alice is BACK in the hospital with Dr. Mathur. (This time in handcuffs.) Peter visits her and says goodbye. The detectives are still as confused as I am! Alice some how is out of the hospital and stealing more money. She goes on the run and sends a confession letter to the detective signed by all the fake names she has used in the past. Her dark past. The end!
