Amelia (Vail Bloom) and her teen son Rex (Nikolai Soroko) have moved to a rich neighborhood after the failure of her husband’s business and his death. There’s not much money but Amelia has a job and is doing the best that she can to give her son a new start. Rex begins to date Darla Jones (Nikki Nunziato) and Amelia sees so much of herself in this young woman. But when she accuses her son of having nonconsensual sex with her, she has to decide if she’ll believe this girl or her flesh and blood child.
Directed by Bruno Hernández and Damián Romay and written by Philip Lawrence, I am shocked that this entire film was not created by artificial intelligence. The last part of the movie has many twists and turns that you honestly lose track of who you can trust, who is right, who is the villain and if we should even care about Rex, who often acts like the worst person in the world and one who you really could see sleeping with a girl who says no. Then again, the scene where Darla blackmails Amelia only to collapse because she’s pregnant? That’s why I watch Tubi Originals.
No human being acts like anyone in this movie. Everybody hates everyone, everyone is horrible, everyone is at their highest level of drama at all times, people made shady business deals and then scream at each other, all while a strange old man that owes something to someone is involved in everyone’s dirty laundry.
It’s a lot like where I grew up.
You can watch this on Tubi.

The wandering cold sore on the main actress’s lip, which grows bigger and then smaller but never quite disappears, is way more interesting than the plot. Don’t the makeup artists know how to get rid of herpes simplex? It’s not that hard. Lipactin works in a pinch. Then there are clear strips that heal overnight.
