Synopsis
Emily is a highly successful PR executive, separated from her husband, Kyle. An only child, Emily’s wealthy parents left her a hefty inheritance on their passing. Couple’s therapy for Emily and Kyle is going well, and hopefully this will lead to Kyle moving back in soon! One afternoon, a woman (Lily) shows up on Emily’s doorstep claiming to be her half sister given up for adoption before Emily’s mother and father met. Looking for Emily, Lily is grateful to have finally found her! The two become fast friends. Kyle seems skeptical of Lily and suggests a DNA test. Emily arranges dinner for Kyle to meet Lily, but Kyle seems on edge. When Emily speaks to Kyle alone to see why he’s acting so strange, he becomes agitated. Later that night, Emily feels dizzy and sick - falling down the stairs. When Emily is back at home, Lily comes to help out around the house. That night, someone breaks in and attacks Emily! Kyle comes over and kicks Lily out of the house. He calls the police to report the incident and explains that Lily could be behind all of this. Emily thinks Kyle could be the culprit: they are separated and he’s still the beneficiary in her will. Emily tells Kyle to leave before he can say anything more. Emily decides to ask Lily to get a DNA test to know for sure if they’re related. Lily happily agrees and the test comes back as a match! Emily and Lily celebrate but Kyle tries coming back and Emily tells him she no longer trusts him. He then breaks into the house, terrifying Emily and Lily until Kyle screams out that Lily is dangerous. He had an affair with Lily when they were separated and hadn’t come clean because he thought he’d lose Emily. He called the police so they could handle it without having to confess, but absent concrete proof, the police weren’t able to do anything. Just then, Lily pulls out a gun as Lily had been trying to kill Emily the entire time. She fell in love with Kyle but he left her to work things out with Emily. Kyle never knew Lily was Emily’s sister until the night they all had dinner. Lily wanted to steal Emily’s perfect life and tracked down Kyle in order to seduce him. But now that Kyle has stayed loyal to Emily, Lily will just have to kill them both.
