Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
Randal 'Randy' Ackers loses his family savings and the company's reserve funds in an 'easy profit scheme' and commits suicide. His widow Dianne hopes to build a new life in California but gets stuck with car trouble in Texas. To pay for the repairs, she becomes waitress Dee Dee in a diner. There the swindler, who apparently doesn't recognize Diane, recruits 'Dee Dee' as investment sales pitch assistant. Friendly local sheriff Nando, who has a crush on her, promises to help catch the trickster under his new name, unofficially as he has no cause for legal action. But more is not what is seems.

| User ReviewH STerrific cast, good script, and top-notch acting. First-class entertainment without a huge budget. Peta Wilson shows why she is one of the most underrated actresses of her generation. Cross the wrong woman and payback can be a bitch! It is our loss that Wilson wasn't able to make more movies that channeled her inner-Nikita. |
| User ReviewBuggy BCaught this on the W network and stuck with it because I was such a huge fan of La Femme Nikita and Peta Wilson plays the vengeful wife here. Its not a great movie even for Lifetime, the acting is okay but it feels kinda choppy and rushed (she didn't appear to mourn her husband at all) with some super boring parts involving the "Ponzi scheme". There were a couple twists I didn't see coming towards the end but still very forgettable. Peta plays a woman seeking revenge against a con artist who finagled her husband out of all their money, an event that prompted him to commit suicide. 02.14.14 |
