Greg Dunleavy (Mark Krassenbaum) and Nicole Voss (Ari Meyers) are the usual high school senior power couple: he the handsome, wealthy, and popular jock and she the beautiful, well-to-do, cheerleader. Greg and Nicole have been dating for two years now and have plans to attend the same college, after graduation, and eventually get married. But, Greg has a little secret: he is cheating on Nicole with a girl named Emily Decapprio (Soleil Moon Frye AKA tv's Punky Brewster) who just happens to be from the "wrong side of the tracts".

Sweet, trusting, but misguided, Emily eventually gets pregnant by Greg and actually believes that he will marry her, that they will raise the baby in the same town, and live happily ever after. Greg has other ideas, he sees only the rath of his father, and all of his future plans with Nicole going down the drain. When Emily, in no uncertain terms, informs Greg that she will not have an abortion and will indeed have the baby, Greg decides that Emily has got to go and maniacally strangles her to death with his bare hands. Greg then proceeds to zip Emily's body up in a bag and dumps her out into the middle of a local lake, then goes on about his life as though nothing has happened.

Nicole has since become friends with Emily's mother, Tina (Tess Harper) and tries to help her to find out what has happened to Emily. Eventually, Emily's body is found on the shore by Nicole's friends during a party held at the lake. It is soon brought out that Greg was "dating" Emily and the heat is on for Greg. Nicole is furious that Greg has been lying to her, beginning to have her doubts about his innocence, and breaks up with him. Another young man, who was obsessed with Emily, is arrested for the murder. Nicole now feels badly about suspecting Greg, and the two get back together.

Unfortunately for Greg, his days of freedom are numbered as a tiny piece of evidence, overlooked by Greg, but found and kept by Nicole (not realizing at the time what she has)comes to light and Greg is starting to get panicky. Anyone who has anything on Greg at this time better watch their back, and that includes Nicole and Tina!

This little gem of a Lifetime movie has wonderful and convincing performances by the entire cast and is a very worthwhile viewing experience, I have this DVD in my movie library. Try it, you'll like it!

this is a pretty good movie. story about a teen boy who murdered his lover because she was going to have a baby plus he was cheating on his other girlfriend.

This movie is in great shape! I am glad that I found this movie on amazon. I couldn't find it anywhere else! This is one of my favorite Lifetime movies!!!!

This movie shows what jealousy can do when your boyfriend cheats on you. It's a good movie for everyone. I would suggest buying it.

I got this movie in a timely manner and in good condition. Thank you.

This is quite a good movie. The story line keeps you interested and guessing at most times and even though the ending turns out to be very straight, it is natural. Good enough to be viewed once and the fact that it is a true story might make it more interesting for some people.

I really liked this movie, it was an intriging true story, that tells about the pressures of teenagers and the decisions that one makes.Not always the right decisions.

keeps u on the edge of your seat in some parts it was better then i expected it to be...

I think the movie itself was ok. The story was a little hard to follow sometimes. It seems to be a shame that it was a true story becuse it had such tragedy in it.

This is a very good movie. I've seen a few times prior to purchasing it. I am glad to have it in my collection.
