What could be more interesting then pen pals separated by distance and united by some sort of revenge perhaps? Lifetime is all set to drop 'Dying To Be You' this weekend and it's going to get interesting because the film is all about how two friends convene only to find out that one of them has evil intentions at heart.

In their letters, the two promise to visit the other and one fine day, Lily finds Molly at her doorstep on the day of her 25th birthday. It was nothing short of a pleasant surprise that went sour when Lily learned that her well-meaning pen pal had no intention of leaving her house and that she wants Lily's life.
