Der Liebhaber - Eine Gefährliche Affäre

Given Lifetime's low bar for excellence, this was pretty good.

The school principal is accused of molesting a student. He visits the teacher, Tess Ford, (Jamie Luner) who had the girl turn him. He kills himself in front of her and her husband Roger. Unfortunately, during a couple of wild shots, their little boy is killed.

Now it's seven years later. Tess is active as a blogger and speaker, and Roger has divorced her. After a speaking engagement, a veteran (Brent Antonello) approaches her and wants to talk. They end up in bed together.

Well, anyone who has seen a Lifetime movie knows this guy is one fry short of a Happy Meal. He turns up all over the place and has rented the house across the street from her ex.

Her accusations go nowhere, and it seems like a police detective (Maurice Benard) believes the vet and not her.

I had forgotten how many soap stars appear in these films. Maurice Benard is the star of General Hospital, and Tava Smiley, who plays Tess' sister, was also in GH for a time.

Interesting twist.
