When recent widower Brent Cavanaugh (Nicholas Brendon) befriends the married couple next door, Jason and Casey Hess, they try and offer as much comfort as they can during his time of grief. But Brent is far from the innocent widower — in fact he’s harboring a dark secret, and his hidden agenda with the couple next door is far more sinister than anyone could have imagined. Brent hopes to steal Casey as revenge on her husband Jason, who he blames for “taking away” his wife. Brent even goes so far as to install hidden cameras all over the couple’s home, to help his twisted manipulation-revenge scheme. Can Casey and Jason uncover the dark truth about their neighbor before it’s too late?

Chandra West and Vincent Ventresca also star in the movie. Airdates and times, according to the LMN Web site, are:

Saturday, Sept. 26: 8 p.m.
Sunday, Sept. 27: Midnight, noon

Every year, fans ask for a spot to share their well wishes with Nick and Kelly, so here you go. Have fun!
