Meet Mitch Parker – he’s smooth, suave and very shrewd, living two lives with two different wives. With a charming smile concealing a dangerous heart, he’s a master of manipulation. But when he crosses the thin line between sanity and delusion, his mind games turn deadly.
Based on #1 New York Times bestselling author Karen Kingsbury’s novel “Deadly Pretender.” The film is inspired by the true story of a former Southern California civic leader who was married to two women simultaneously and was sentenced to life in prison for murdering one of his wives when she discovered his double life.
