ONCE IN A LIFETIME

Genre: Comedy/Romance

Logline:

After her boyfriend dumps her, Mandy slips into a deep depression and only finds solace in the Lifetime movies she binges. Until she magically is transported into her own Lifetime movie. Trouble is, her ex-boyfriend is the writer. And now she must figure out who the killer is before it’s too late. Plus, she just might be a billionaire heiress.

Synopsis: 

Mandy, whose life is a mess, swears off men. A friend playfully points out the stark contrast between Mandy’s life and the dramatic narratives of Lifetime movies, extolling the virtues of the latter. Intrigued, Mandy, who has never seen one, decides to dive into the world of Lifetime.

She embarks on an epic binge-watching session, consuming every single Lifetime movie. During the end credits, she makes a startling discovery: not only are the movies written by a man she likes, but they are all filmed in the same city and at the same location. A quick Google search yields no results, but a subsequent Bing search unearths something intriguing.

Mandy follows the provided coordinates, only to find nothing there. Suddenly, she is inexplicably transported into the very real world of Lifetime movies. She must now navigate this surreal reality, questioning if it’s a dream or perhaps a scheme orchestrated by her ex. A killer is on the loose, and Mandy finds herself embroiled in solving the murder. Along the way, she falls in love and celebrates Christmas in true Lifetime fashion, wearing flannels and sipping hot cocoa.
