Synopsis (via Lifetime)
A protective mother discovers a wealthy, older woman is showering her young son with gifts and money. As she sets out to expose her, she discovers the woman’s obsession with her son is far more dangerous than she ever could have imagined
Recap/Wine Thoughts
Inspired by True Events
Sugar Mama, Maya finds her boyfriend in bed with another woman. She is a high-powered businesswoman who isn’t used to things not going her way.
Cut to Noah doing sweaty push-ups in his room; get this kid a ceiling fan. He helps his mom make coffee in the morning, then rushes off to his server job to make it through college. Noah is ambitious, and so is his mullet.
Denise, Noah’s mom, works for University Advancement, wrangling donors with a messy desk. Noah won’t even consider going to his mother’s college, even if it’s on scholarship! Noah wants to be just like his dad, who passed away.
Now divorced, Maya is a major donor to the university and stops by for a house visit to have wine with Denise. When Maya arrives, she sees Noah outside stretching for a run, and she objectifies the hell out of him. Maya casually asks where Noah works and quickly books a lunch reservation. (Not before putting on a face mask and plucking a few gray hairs.)
Maya arranges a brunch, flirts with Noah, and gives him a ride to class. (High school? Community College? Eeeee, later he confirms he is 19.) She invites him to dinner, and he hesitates. Then he reconciles and goes home to brag about his date. Denise asks who the mystery woman is, and Noah says it is no one she knows… BUT IT IS!
Noah picks Maya up at her place and is impressed by her marble floors and designer dress. They have dinner and go to da club. Maya gifts Noah a watch and cares for his body on the dance floor in the least sexy way. Then they make out and are interrupted by her cheating ex-boyfriend, who ruins the mood.
Denise catches her son coming home at 3am and demands to know how the date went. Noah says if he were in college dorms, he would have more breathing room! He goes over to Maya again, and she makes him strip for her and wear a blindfold. She is not just a boss in the boardroom; Maya runs the bedroom too. She offers to pay for his life if he keeps sleeping with her exclusively and secretly. He storms off in his underwear and says he is not for sale!
Then the money stops rolling in. Denise’s scholarship goes unfunded for the first time in five years; Noah’s co-worker’s mother is sick and can’t afford Chemo treatments, and Noah’s college fund isn’t looking great. He reconsiders Maya’s offer but has some caveats.
Denise is surprised when Noah brings her home a fancy espresso maker and starts driving a new car. When he turns down dinner, she knows something is wrong. Maya blows up his phone and controls his every move. When Noah tries to ignore her, she shows up at his house and hangs out with Denise.
Noah starts spiraling and decides he wants to move out to keep his Sugar Mama a secret. He’s paid off his tuition and chemo and can afford his own place. Denise gets suspicious and tracks his location. She finds him and his happy trail with Maya. Denise makes him put his clothes back on and go home. They hash it out later, and Noah tells his mom that Maya has been taking advantage of him for money.
Now that it’s out in the open, Denise tells Noah she will make sure Maya ends things with him. He is her son after all. Hot bod or not! She tells Maya to stay away from her son and tries to pay back the money. Maya tells Denise she does what she wants. Denise tells Maya that she is pathetic for going after a boy because she couldn’t keep her man. DAMN!
Denise goes to the police, but Maya already has a restraining order against her. Then Denise stalks Noah outside of his work and sees him hugging his co-worker, Charlotte. So, Maya attacks her in the parking lot. Charlotte ends up in the hospital with a concussion, and Noah knows this has to stop.
When Noah goes missing, Denise confronts Maya in her home, and they get into a drop-dead-drag-out fight. Noah shows up and tries to save his mom, but Denise lands the final blow.
The police arrest Maya, and Noah plans to live at home with his mom. He tells Charlotte what he did to help her and her mom. She is flattered and asks if he is ready to date someone his own age; he is. They kiss. The end!
STRAY Thought
This hunk has something going on; get him in a Heated Rivalry type thing, and he will pop off.
Sugar Mama was never uttered in this movie.
