According to the official description, the story follows a father desperate to bond with his estranged 18-year-old daughter, Robyn (Claire Qute). Wayne Edwards (D.B.

Based on the book The Wife Stalker by Liv Constantine, the film also stars real-life spouses Grace and Traí Byers and follows a wife whose husband leaves her for a woman with a nefarious past.

Joanna (Keshia Knight Pulliam) and Leo (Traí Byers) seem to have it all. Two adorable children, Evie (Alayna Bernard) and Aaron (AJ Bernard), and a beautiful house in the suburbs.

But their perfect marriage begins to unravel when Piper (Grace Byers), the owner of a wellness center, moves to town and sets her sights on Leo, who quickly falls for her charms. 

As Piper ruthlessly maneuvers her way into the family, Joanna starts digging into her past and discovers some very disturbing secrets — including two previous dead husbands. Fearing for their safety, Joanna is determined to find the proof that she needs and expose Piper in time to protect her family.

Wife Stalker premieres March 29 at 8 p.m/7 Central on Lifetime.
