When her college-aged daughter goes missing while on Spring Break down in Miami, Indiana mom Beverly flies out to find her, acquiring the assistance of rugged boatman Ray as they search the vast Everglades. Tori Spelling, Tommi Rose, and Nick Ballard star (2025)
Recap/Wine Thoughts
The movie starts with a dead body on the beach.
The cuts to waitress Tori Spelling calling her college-aged daughter and the Dead Girl on a spring break trip in the Everglades. Dead Girl is so horny she jumps on dating apps and looks for potential hookups. (Probs why she ends up dead.) SPRING BREAK MIAMI!!!!
Dead Girl doesn’t want to take her things with her because of pickpockets. Tori Spelling’s daughter, Carli, holds Dead Girls things for her and posts on social media. Tori spelling watches along and texts her daughter to be careful.
Dead Girl, whose name is Simone but will only be referred to as Dead Girl, meets a townie named Pete. They go to the beach, and Carli is surprised to see her ex-boyfriend Luke there. (He is Townie Pete’s cousin.) Carli wants to leave because it is weird, but Dead Girl is ready to rage! They do shots on the Lifeguard stand and then go swimming. (Which is a bad idea!)
Carli drops her backpack, and the shot hits her hard. (The boys put something in the drink) Carli passes out on the beach, and Dead Girl has a seizure and dies.
The police find the bag and call Tori Spelling. The bag has. Dead Girl’s phone, and they call Tori Spelling. Tori Spelling becomes worried and calls Carli, but doesn’t get a reply. (It might be because Carie is literally tied up.)
Tori spelling books a #Spon Delta Airlines flight to push police to look for her daughter.
Meanwhile, Luke feels bad about drugging (and killing) the girls. The whole kidnapping and tying up Carli. Paul tells his cousin that they need to turn themselves in. Cousin Pete tells Luke that they are in too deep and the spoiled girls deserve what happened to them, for treating guys like them like trash.
Dead Girl is NOT dead; she is in a coma. Tori Spelling begs her to wake up and tell her what happened. When that doesn’t work, she asks a handsome stranger to drive her around and help her look for her daughter. His name is Ray, and he is too kind to be true. They drive around aimlessly. Ray tries to bond with Tori Spelling and tells her about his teenage daughter, who was killed in a car crash. (Not helpful, bro!)
Cousin Pete drives around on one of those fan boat things with Carli’s phone to throw anyone looking for her off the trail. He then looks at a photo of Tori Spelling and thinks she looks hot. (She does look good!) While at a gas station, he sees a story on the news about the abducted girls.
Luke does a terrible job at watching Carli and takes her blindfold off so she sees he is her captor. Carli asks him why he is going all this and he doesn’t have a good answer.
Tori Spelling starts putting the pieces together. She finds the lost backpack with Ryan. Then, she questions Dead Girl, who has woken up from her coma. Tori Spelling is the best lifetime detective ever! Only Tori Spelling is too late because Cousin Pete gets to the Dead Girl’s room and ensures she lives up to her name. (He smothers her with a pillow!)
Oh damn, never mind! Tori Spelling interrupts and asks Dead Girl questions. Dead Girl tells Tori about switching backpacks with Carli and tells her about a locker where her cell phone is. Tori Spelling plans to use the phone to track her daughter’s location. She leaves, and Cousin Pete chickens out and leaves some nice balloons for Dead Girl.
Cousin Pete follows Tori Spelling, and he spits some mad game. Ummm this guy FUCKS. Wow, he is too smooth. Tori Spelling falls for it and agrees to go for a ride with him to the Everglades and get on his decidedly not sexy fan boat thingy. They track the phone, but Carli is nowhere to be seen.
Tori Spelling wants to jump into the water and look for the phone, but she is a bad swimmer. She realizes that Cousin Pete is a bad guy and tries to hit him with an oar, but he manages to throw her overboard and leave her to drown.
Ray comes to the rescue on his fan boat and helps Tori. They rush off to find Carli.
Carli makes her get away and jumps into the swampy water to swim to safety. (Or to the gators.) She is wandering the Everglades with her hands tied and mouth bound. She manages to untie herself with some logs or something and runs for it. Luke isn’t far behind. Carli makes it to a random house and breaks in to hide from Luke. She tries to call for help, but the phone lines are down.
Luke is onto her and peeps through the window. The owner of the house catches Luke looking through the window, and when he asks Luke what he is doing, Luke gets caught in a lie. There is a struggle, and the old man falls and cracks his skull.
Pete finds Luke in a bad situation, and they argue. Pete is tired of cleaning up Luke’s messes and tells his cousin to take care of Carli and feed her to the gators. Then Pete sees Tori Spelling and Ray and blames Luke for everything. Ray holds Luke until the police arrive while Tori Spelling searches for Carli. Of course, Pete stabs Ray, but he is taken out by a venomous snake and maybe eaten by an alligator!?!?? HAHAHAHAHAH! (Okay, movie!) HOW Ray didn’t say, “See ya later, alligator.”
Luke loses his mind and holds Tori Spelling at knifepoint, but Tori Spelling isn’t going down like that! She beat his ass and saves her daughter. Carli and Tori Spelling rush to get themselves (and Ray) to safety. There is a fan boat race, which, TBH, isn’t very exciting. (They are fan boats!) The boats crash, and Luke is STILL trying to kill them.
The police boats finally show up, and Luke tries to get away, but Tori Spelling steals his boat keys. Luke is arrested, and everyone is saved. Tori Spelling in “Mom 2.0”
Dead Girl and Carli finish out their spring break, and Tori Spelling is their chaperone. She makes her own sexy plans with Ray, who she is now dating. They go on a boat ride together, but a normal motor boat. THE END!
Stray Thoughts
I’m so dumb; I thought the Everglades were mountains, haha.
HOW Ray didn’t say, “See ya later, alligator.”
Tori Spelling is the OG Lifetime KWEEN. She is always 100%.

The older cousin was such a hunk! So disappointed that he wasn’t in the final showdown.
I know!!!!!
Referring to her as “Dead Girl” was pretty disgusting and disrespectful. She DIDN’T DIE. It was morbid and corny . Why would you do that?!! There were also some misspellings. You need to do way better bro. There was absolutely no need to do all that.
