However, awkwardness might be the least of Lindsey's worries, given the possible foreshadowing of the movie title. And yes, it's just as awkward as it sounds. Little do they know that they're about to encounter an entirely different form of terror when they run into Jake's soon-to-be-ex-wife, Gwen, while they're there. The movie centers around Jake and Lindsey, a happy couple who are expecting their first child together and decide to go off on a babymoon trip to a desert resort so they can get a little extra time to themselves before the joys (and struggles) of parenthood are upon them.

(Because that'd be the true tragedy of this story, right?) Rest assured: These characters and this storyline are completely fictional and should in no way prevent you from ever going to a resort again. At first it may make you second guess booking any future trips to a faraway destination, but thankfully, Killer Vacation isn't based on a true story, so you shouldn't have to concern yourself with facing this nightmarish situation in real life. But what if that wasn't the case? What if you ran into an ex while you were there and things took a very, very dark turn? That's the tense premise of Lifetime's new original movie Killer Vacation. Before I sink any deeper into this dangerous attraction, I need to solve this murder and get back on the road.Generally, when you think about taking a vacation, you expect that pretty much the entire experience will be fun and relaxing. In other words, the insatiable hunger and protectiveness she is waking up in me is a threat to my peace of mind. She’s also brave and beautiful and reminds me of the home I left behind three years ago. Sure, she’s stubborn, distracting and can’t stay out of harm’s way. Although…it is becoming less and less of a hardship to have her around. I’m just here to do a job, not babysit an amateur sleuth.

Not to mention a fulfilling teaching career of wrangling second graders.Ī brash bounty hunter and an energetic elementary schoolteacher: the murder-solving team no one asked for, but thanks to these pesky attempts on my life, we’re stuck together, come hell or high tide. Now a rude, crude bounty hunter has arrived on the back of his motorcycle to catch the killer and refuses to believe I can be helpful, despite countless hours of true crime podcast listening. It was supposed to be a relaxing vacation in sweet, sunny Cape Cod-just me and my beloved brother-but discovering a corpse in our rental house really throws a wrench into our tanning schedule.
