Laney is dreading her high school reunion because of a sad background. However, when classmates begin to die, she must find the perpetrator before she or her daughter become the next victim.
Recap/Wine Thoughts
Murder like it is 1999… Lifetime doesn’t usually fare well with periodic pieces, but here we go!
Influencer and a High School class of 1999 grad, Kelly, arrives in town for her high school reunion. The concierge, Lyle, gives her some wine and the remote to the pool cover for some reason. After posting a video, Kelly goes for a swim and almost gets trapped in the pool. She makes it out alive only to be murdered while complaining on the phone.
Cut to a suburban couple having a secret affair. A reporter named Gage and a single mother, Laney, who has a teenage daughter, Cara. Cara is planning the 1999 reunion because she is on the alumni association with a teacher with a lot of feelings, Hilary. Laney is a crime scene forensic agent and gets the call about Kelly’s murder.
Cara decorates the school gym, while her boyfriend, Wes, plans to lose their virginity together. His dad is a teacher at the school and is perpetually embarrassing him by watching him make out with Cara while downing a scotch. THIS TEACHER IS WEIRD! He not only watches his son condescendingly, but also has a secret screening room where he watches casting-couch videotapes. The killer breaks in and strangles him with the tape.
So since this is a reunion, there are a lot of people. Rob and Izzy are a couple. Molly was Laney’s former best friend, who died in a mysterious accident during her freshman year of college.
The tape of Molly ends up on the teacher’s body, and Laney insists on watching its contents. She reviews it with the sheriff, who might have been in the class of 1999, too? The video is exactly what you think. Molly was a victim of Wes’s dad. Kelly lured Molly to him.
Laney starts to doubt if she is a good person since Molly never told her. She talks with Rob about the past, since they were the three amigos. Rob had a thing for Molly.
Cara is upset with her mother for meddling and telling her to stop dating Wesley because his dad is a sexual predator. Izzy gives Cara a ride to a carnival, a party, or something, and gives her advice about the mother/daughter fight. (Overstepping much, like who even is this woman?)
Gage looks into Molly’s death and discovers that she didn’t die in an accident. Laney knows, too, because she gets threatening messages in Molly’s handwriting. Molly died in childbirth, and she was pregnant from the assault or from Rob? Gage seems to be thinking the same thing and tells Laney not to trust ANYONE!
It is time for the reunion, where Rob and Laney are… reunited. Meanwhile, Gage keeps looking into who the killer is with the sheriff. The lights shut off at the reunion, and a video plays of the murders. Someone chloroforms Laney and ties her up.
Izzy, Molly’s daughter, was responsible for all the murders because she grew up in foster care. Izzy knocks Rob out, and she delivers her villain monologue in an asymmetrical unistrapped gown. Wes is working to help Izzy because they are brother and sister.
Cara tries to reason with Wesley until Gage arrives and fights Wesley over the knife. While Laney takes down Izzy. The police arrive, and everyone is saved.
Cut to Cara’s graduation party. Too bad Molly can’t be there!
