Unforgettable

As the investigation into her ex-boyfriend Michael's murder gets underway, Julia Banks is grilled by authorities about her alleged involvement. However, she steadfastly maintains that she's been framed, despite social media posts revealing a tangled web of emotions between her and the deceased. This complex dynamic only begins to scratch the surface of the intricate relationships that will unravel as the story unfolds.

Six months prior, Julia had bid farewell to her boss and friend Ali at the storytelling website where she served as chief online editor. With plans to work remotely from her new home - a grand mansion shared with her fiancé David Connover and his precocious daughter Lily - Julia was looking forward to starting anew. However, her excitement was short-lived, as she soon found herself immersed in the drama of David's complicated past.

Upon arriving at David's residence, Julia was greeted by his ex-wife Tessa, a woman still reeling from the aftermath of their messy divorce two years prior. The tension between them was palpable, and it wasn't long before Tessa's controlling nature began to manifest itself in subtle yet calculated ways.

That evening, Tessa dropped by uninvited, lingering at the house until Julia politely but firmly showed her the door. Unbeknownst to Julia, Tessa had been busy concocting a scheme to manipulate Michael from afar. By creating a fake Facebook account impersonating Julia and sending him flirtatious messages, Tessa set in motion a chain of events that would ultimately lead to devastating consequences.

As tensions continued to simmer beneath the surface, Julia's life was further complicated by a surprise bouquet delivery - courtesy of Tessa's Machiavellian machinations. Meanwhile, David's grandmother's treasured wedding ring and his own prized watch went missing, leaving Julia perplexed and uneasy.

The stage was set for a powder keg of drama to unfold, as Julia and her family navigated the treacherous landscape of secrets, lies, and betrayal. From the farmer's market to the horseback riding arena, the intricate web of relationships continued to unravel, threatening to engulf them all in its destructive path. And at the center of it all was Tessa, a master manipulator driven by a burning desire for revenge against Julia - her rival for David's affections.

As tensions simmer between Tessa and Julia, a seemingly insignificant incident escalates into a full-blown confrontation. Tessa's drastic decision to shear Lily's locks serves as a bitter pill for Julia, sparking a fiery exchange with her nemesis. The already fragile atmosphere is further frayed when Tessa dramatically flings herself down the stairs, conjuring a narrative of Julia's supposed culpability that only gains traction upon David's arrival on the scene. Following a hospital visit and David's stern rebuke of Julia for allegedly mistreating his ex-wife, the latter reaches out to her confidant Ali, who uncovers a shocking truth about Tessa's troubled past: as a teenager, she had attempted to exact revenge against her father when he betrayed her mother.

Meanwhile, Julia, masquerading as Tessa, initiates a clandestine conversation with Michael, inviting him to visit under false pretenses. Unbeknownst to Julia, Michael seizes the opportunity to make his move, only to be rebuffed and subsequently attacked by Julia in self-defense. As Michael lies helpless on the floor, Julia seizes a kitchen knife and delivers a precise blow to his leg, allowing her to escape the premises. Tessa, waiting patiently outside, reenters the house and strikes a mortal blow with a kitchen knife, securing her victim's demise.

Six months later, the authorities release Julia from custody, assuring her that the investigation into Michael's untimely demise will continue. David initially offers Julia a supportive ear, empathizing with her traumatic history with Michael; however, his stance falters when the police present "evidence" that challenges their narrative. The revelation sparks a crisis of faith in David, prompting him to seek out Lily at Tessa's residence, where he discovers telltale signs of manipulation: burned gloves in the fireplace and his grandmother's treasured wedding ring adorning Tessa's finger. As the truth begins to unravel, David is caught off guard by Tessa's brutal ambush with a fireplace poker.

Julia arrives on the scene, vainly attempting to summon emergency services only to be attacked by her tormentor once more. With remarkable resilience, Julia subdues Tessa and rushes to revive the unconscious David, but not before Tessa launches a final, desperate assault with a knife. As Tessa gazes upon her reflection in a mirror, she is struck by the monster she has become and delivers a self-inflicted wound. In her final moments, Tessa implores Julia to spare Lily from remembering her in this capacity.

The passage of time brings a measure of solace as David and Julia exchange vows and settle into their new life with Lily. However, when Lovey arrives at the doorstep, seeking to reconnect with her granddaughter, Julia's horror is palpable as she witnesses Lovey enveloping Lily in a warm embrace.
