Synopsis (via Lifetime)
After a woman’s husband disappears while on a kayaking trip, everyone assumes that he must’ve drowned. But then, she catches a glimpse of a man in a crowd who looks exactly like him, setting off a chain of events that unravels everything she thought she knew about her husband. Starring Koko Marshall, and Thomas Gipson (2023).
Recap/Wine Thoughts
The movie starts with hidden camera footage. Hunky Heath is talking to a therapist and LITERALLY FLIPS A TABLE LIKE TERESA GIUDICE!
THIS IS HOW THE MOVIE STARTS?!
Hunk Heath prepares for work and puts on nerdy glasses to hide his hotness. Then he heads down to the kitchen to see why his wife, Kat, isn’t making coffee.
She is like, “Babe! I don’t drink coffee.” while she types and emails distractedly. Well, it is the coffee that broke the camel’s back. *Or whatever! Hunk Heath is hurt by Kat neglecting him and hardly paying attention to his chiseled features. He storms off without saying, “I love you.” (Which is forgivable! When you’re as hot as Hunk Heath!)
Kat is working on a book, but her day job is writing for something called a “ZoinkBot.” She is planning a divorce and meets with a lawyer. He tells her to give the marriage one last shot, and Kat plans a surprise for her husband.
She makes an EXTREMELY specific mean to reward Hunk Heath for all the hard work he has been putting in at the office. That meal is Steak, Mashed Potatoes, and Salsa Verde with NO CILANTRO! (He has that thing where it tastes like soap.) The surprises keep coming, and Kat tells him they are going Kayaking the next day.
Hunk Heath has to work, but he promises to work it out so he can spend the day with Kat. Later, she overhears him yelling about pushing the critical meeting over the phone. He gets the meeting rescheduled.
The next morning they go Kayaking bright and early, and Hunk Heath is distracted and stressed about making money. The couple argues while holding Kayak paddles, and my FAVORITE Lifetime stock music plays in the background.
“Give it up like there’s no tomorrow, Woah Woah oh Wooooahhhhooooo.”
Hunk Heath storms off, and Kayak’s by himself, leaving Kat to fume and later worry. The kayak shop owner is trying to close the store and seems unconcerned about the missing hunk. Kat calls a detective and drops a lot of Hunk Heath factoids.
1) He is an only child
2) Adopted
3) and his parents just recently died
4) He is self-employed but working with someone named Tillman.
5) He is hot
6) He is Missing!
A Detective finds Heath’s Kayaking gear outside an abandoned home. The Detective checks things out and demands that Kat not join him. (Which she, of course, doesn’t.)
Frustrated with the Detective’s slow-moving on the case, Kat puts up flyers around town. (Her significant oversight is not using a shirtless picture. The people would find Hunk Heath ASAP!) Kat DOES think she sees Heath driving a “Black Car,” The lack of details throws Detective into a gaslighty monologue. He believes she is cray! (They have sexual tension, I think he is just negging her.)
Kat is hardly getting any sleep and having terrible nightmares where Heath looks not so hunkly. Then she thinks she sees him in an Alley and insists that it is a lead. Before the Detective can shoot her down again, he gets a call that Hunk Heath has turned up… ALIVE!
At the hospital, Kat sits by his side and asks him questions about when he was away. He doesn’t even remember his name. Hunk Heath is deathly afraid of needles and struggles to see the IV. Kat promises to take care of him and get him back on his feet. He apologizes for fighting at the Kayak shop.
There is a large gap in Hunk Heath’s memory. He can basically remember nothing of the time that he was missing, but it seems like he really wants to be a better husband for Kat. The lawyer is not so sure and seems to be pushing Kat to get divorced or at least settle up a loophole in her will that would leave everything to Hunk Heath.
While on a picnic, a strange woman watches the couple. Hunk Heath sweet-talks Kat, and she is eating it up. (Even if the facts are slightly off.) They have sexy time with cuddling afterward! Kat goes to the bathroom and looks at herself in the mirror. (Was the sex DIFFERENT!?!?)
Before that legal paperwork can be signed, the lawyer is stabbed on his office desk by someone he knows! His last works are “YOU,” which isn’t very helpful.
Kat brings the Detective a signed baseball to thank him for helping with the case. They are TOTALLY going to date.
Hunk Heath slams on his laptop angrily; he is locked out of his accounts because he can’t remember his password. He also doesn’t know Kat’s co-worker’s name and tells her he loves her way too often.
The woman from the picnic confronts Kat in a parking lot. Her name is Prisca, and she asks Kay if Hunk Heath has been acting off. Quick to anger, forgetting small things, the stranger warns of a tattoo on Heath’s ankle, which he wouldn’t have because he is afraid of needles.
Kat checks while Hunk Heath sleeps and sees a LAME tattoo on his ankle. It is like a plant or something. She knows this man isn’t her husband. Her test is cilantro. Hunk Heath fails it with flying colors. She calls the Detective because she feels unsafe and then sets up a meeting with Prisca to see what she knows.
Prisca is a psychiatrist who has been working with a Hunk Heath look-a-like named Vance. She tells Kat that Vance isn’t human and lacks empathy or remorse. Prisca breaks every HIPPA law and shows Kat the flipping table footage. Jacob and Heath were twins separated at birth. Jacob wanted Hunk Heath’s life, so he took it.
Jacob finds Prisca in town and attacks her in an alley. He tells her that he will gut her like a fish if she tells Kat what she knows. Kat witnesses the whole thing and is terrified of the man she is married to. (I’m like, hey, at least he is shirtless.) Kat can’t even sleep beside him because her nightmares are so horrendous.
Kat searches the house while Jacob is out for work. I have no idea what she is looking for. (I’m having a hard time focusing because I’m kind of worried about Hunk Heath. Is he DEAD?) While Jacob takes a shower, Kat goes through his wallet and phone instead of jumping in with him!
Then she goes to the batting cages randomly. Jacob becomes suspicious. Kat and Prisca go to a storage locker and find HUNK HEATH’S DEAD BODY!!! Kat screams in horror; it is her nightmares coming true. Kat calls her true love, Detective Brand, and the body is gone when he goes to investigate. So is Prisca! They go to her house to corroborate Kat’s story, and Prisca says she has never met Kat in her LIFE?!?!?!?!?!? (Wow, this one has me like, “WHAT!” every 5 mins.)
Prisca says she is a massage therapist, and Detective Brand insists on returning to the station. He thinks she has lost it. Then he brings Jacob in for questioning and doesn’t see a tattoo. While he questions Jacob, Kat runs away. It’s a good thing too, because Jacob wants to put Kat on a 5150! (Just like Britney!)
Kat follows Jacob home and sees him making out with Prisca! Then she knocks over a vase and blows her cover. Jacob/Heath grabs Kat and holds her at knife point.
Heath explains everything; he did it all for stock options that Kat owns for Zoink. The company is going public, and Heath had insider trading info. A scuffle happens, and Heath accidentally stabs Prisca/Ivy, and he is so shocked that he doesn’t notice Kat coming for him with a baseball bat.
Detective Brand and Kat remain friends, and she gives him the first copy of her book! Then she says the title of the movie, so it is an automatic pour it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Side Note
This Detective HATED/LOVED Kat! I love that choice!
The twists kept me interested for sure, and the hunk. I’m a fan of him, apparently! (See below! No ankle tattoo, but a forearm one!)
