Eva Marcille and Tyler Lepley will star in Buried Alive and Survived, Lifetime’s upcoming fall movie about a woman’s desperate fight to survive a domestic violence nightmare.
The film follows the story of Alicia (Marcille), who miraculously escapes being buried alive by her ex-husband, Victor (Lepley), after he is released from prison.
A press release from the cable network explains the storyline as: “Determined to protect herself and their son Malcolm, Alicia resists Victor’s demands to reconcile and reunite as a family. But in a twisted turn of events, Victor traps Alicia underground and buries her…alive! Surrounded by darkness and dirt, Alicia pushes down the panic and fear of suffocating and manages to claw her way of out of her grave.”
