"Fatal Memories" is a study in contrasts. It is a story of the love and devotion of one sister for another. Sutton had all of the looks and the smarts to have a successful marriage and become a high-powered attorney. But her younger, mousy sister April was emotionally fragile. She was vulnerable to being set up as the scapegoat in the murder of her mother. The film is about Sutton coming to her sister's rescue.
Much of the drama lies in the attempt for April to recall the history buried in her memory when she was caught holding a knife while standing alongside her mother's body. While a kind psychiatrist tries to unlock April's past, the stroll down memory lane is unsuccessful. April's attorney/sister must find other evidence to prove her innocence.
The police in this film have outdone Lifetime pictures' derogatory portrayal of law enforcement by complete incompetence on the part of Detective Whitaker. Sutton is also on the receiving end of harassment from a nosy freelance reporter named Connor. Eventually, the quick-thinking Sutton enlists Connor to track down a lead on the mysterious Panache Corporation.
The key to solving the murder will be to find whoever is associated with Panache. The trail leads back to a bakery frequented by April and the author June Miller, whose novel "Wild Beaches" is in April's possession. Sutton's devoted husband Glen is nearly asphyxiated, and her father-in-law, Orly Chambers, who suffered childhood trauma of his own, may even suspect young April as having killed his wife.
It is not difficult to figure out who dunnit in this film. The focus is on the love of two sisters. Any obstacle may be overcome with the union of Sutton and April. The bond is enduring. The love is everlasting. And the two siblings will never be torn apart.
