    Made a year before her sitcom success in Caroline in the City, this TV movie stars Lea Thompson as a wife who is so loyal to her abusive husband (James Marshall of Twin Peaks fame) that she agrees to share the blame for a murder he has committed. If that isn't sensational enough, the drama then switches to her bid to retain custody of her daughter and her sister's determination to leak a dark family secret to secure her release. This outlandish melodrama is so full of unlikely events and resistible characters that it could only have been based on a true story.

    Made for TV cheesy mess

    The plot is predictable and cliched, even the music is cheesy, the acting is poor.

    There is nothing in this film to recommend it. It is a waste of a DVD.
