On their way to start a family in California, pregnant Mekenna Melvin (as Amber Miller) and her scruffy boyfriend Nathan Parsons (as Jake) have a car accident. She loses the baby. Three years later, Ms. Melvin gets a job as nanny for attractive Los Angeles couple Ashley Scott and Kip Pardue (as Anne and Ben Gerson). Melvin is hired to look after their disabled three-year-old daughter. This being a nightmarishly titled TV movie, you already know the young nanny is psycho and wants to play the mommy...
As of September 2013, the "Lifetime" channel was running this movie with an amusing error. Part of Melvin's cover is that she is pretending to be a legitimate nanny named "Julie Palmer". After about 35 minutes of running time, "Anne" calls home worried about her baby daughter's whereabouts. She says, "I've been trying to get Amber on the phone for the last two hours." But, at this point, she is not supposed to know "Julie" is "Amber". This is far from the liveliest "Lifetime" psycho drama in existence.
