Movie Synopsis For The Twin (The Good Twin) On Lifetime

There is one person who is important to Ashley, and that’s her college-aged daughter, Jocelyn. The mother and daughter duo have always had a wonderful relationship, and just because Jocelyn is out on her own and attending college doesn’t make them any less close. Always concerned for her well-being and safety, Ashley is delighted when Jocelyn finally finds a nice boyfriend named Tyler.

The surprise comes when Jocelyn and Tyler show up to Ashley’s home for her birthday. Tyler seems like the perfect guy. He is charming, handsome, and very intelligent. In addition to those good qualities, Tyler also seems genuinely good-hearted, which impresses Ashley right away.

But as they get further into their relationship, there is a big change in Tyler. He looks the same, but his whole attitude is different. Jocelyn is alarmed when it seems her boyfriend doesn’t remember small details and begins to exhibit bizarre behavior.

Ashley has noticed the change in her daughter’s boyfriend, too, and decides to investigate him further. Once she starts digging, Ashley and Jocelyn make a shocking discovery. Tyler has a brother who is committed to a mental hospital. Tyler never mentioned this, and as a mom, Ashley finds the omission strange and downright creepy.

What is finally known is that Tyler has been keeping up with his brother’s mental condition by constantly checking in with the mental health doctors at the facility where his brother, Derek, is housed.

Their whole world is turned upside down when the psychiatric hospital alerts them that Tyler’s brother has escaped. Even more disturbing, it comes to light that Tyler’s psychopathic brother is his identical twin.

Now Ashley realizes why Tyler seemed like a totally different person. She bolts into action when she realizes that her daughter is with the wrong twin. According to Ashley’s friend, his rifle has been stolen, and it is apparent that Jocelyn is in danger. Derek, the deranged misfit of the family, has held a lifelong grudge against his parents, who always seemed to love Tyler, the good twin, more. To get a double dose of revenge, Derek is determined to destroy his twin brother’s life and get his girl in the process.
