This movie had everything I look for in a Lifetime movie: a mystery and a character who seemed normal throughout but suddenly reveals their crazy side at the end. The story follows Lucy Compton, a Chicago-based journalist whose boyfriend asks her to do a role play where she wears a blonde wig, a particular scarf, and goes by the name "Maggie." Days later, a woman with blonde hair named Maggie goes missing, and Lucy starts to suspect her boyfriend, eventually accusing him.

There were a few implausible aspects. First, once Lucy suspected her boyfriend, how could she ever not look at him sideways again? Once he was cleared by the police, homegirl wanted to continue on with the relationship. What?! Also, it's hard to believe a late 20s or early 30s journalist could afford to live in an entire house by herself in Chicago.

The acting wasn't that great either-I kept thinking the dynamic between the actress who played Lucy and the actor who played her boyfriend seemed better suited for a rom-com than a thriller.

But overall this was a pretty good Lifetime movie. Giving it 5 stars.

I can't believe this screenplay was made into a movie. So many plot holes and unrealistic occurrences! I'm not talking eye-rolling. I'm talking jaw-droppingly stupid. It makes absolutely no sense that everyone is trying to find a stalker/abductor but no one is actually trying to find the missing girl! In fact, when the person is arrested that is believed to be the one that abducted the missing woman, everyone is relieved like it's all over! Even the missing woman's mother calling the reporter on the phone and talking about how she didn't suspect a certain man and the whole time her daughter is still missing and she doesn't even seem upset!! No one acts like that! The mother would have been much more concerned about where her daughter was than about them finding whoever took her! That would have been her chief concern! That would have been the police's concern! And then, at the end of the movie, when the police are insisting that the "heroine" ride in an ambulance to the hospital? It's abundantly apparent there's nothing wrong with her and yet just a few feet away is the young woman who was abducted, mistreated, and who knows what else was done to her, and no one is insisting that she go to the hospital, that she be examined. The writing is, oh my goodness, so unrealistic!! Ridiculous movie. Save yourself some aggravation and do not watch it!

Calling this inspired by true events is a stretch. There are couples who really role play. Women are really stalked. Women really disappear. The "reality" behind this story, as best as I could determine, is a series of vague generality and interpretation. It's more like, this could happen if any reporters were this naive. The end is, not surprisingly, predictable. Rebecca Liddiard does a decent job of carrying her character and could do better than this role. The story itself is both tired and predictable. If you've seen a few Lifetime movies, this one doesn't deliver anything new. If you're looking for true crime stick to "ripped from the headlines".
