Topalian plays Jamie, a young lady who is hired by a successful business magnate, Walton Page, to be the nanny of both of his girls, and he is delighted to work for him (in hopes of advancing her career in the business world); however, Walton crosses the line several times and makes unwanted sexual advances on her.
His obsession and passion for Jamie becomes deleterious. Jamie subsequently discovers that he has a dark side that he’s willing to kill to keep secret, all while he is in a loveless marriage with his wife Sheryl (Emmy nominee Arianne Zucker).
The script is extremely well-written by Brooke Purdy, and the direction by Gigi Gaston is solid.
Without giving too much away, The Nanny Murders is a Lifetime film that is highly recommended to check out. Kennedy Tucker plays Claire, while Robert Palmer Watkins and Matt Pratt also star as Zack and Ryan respectively.
