Lifetime Movies is back to make your Sundays even better, with yet another murder thriller, 'Killer Competition', which is directed by Andrew Lawrence and written by Daniel West. Lawrence, who is known for the characters of Andy Roman in 'Brotherly Love' and TJ in 'Detweiler in Recess', made his directorial debut in 2020 with the action film, 'Money Plane' starring Adam Copeland.

The official synopsis of the 'Killer Competition' reads, "High school senior Nicole (Jacqueline Scislowski, Cheer Camp Killer) is determined to become valedictorian, but she faces stiff competition from a few of her other classmates. When Nicole's friend, Sarah (Cristine Prosperi, The Wrong Cheerleader), suggests they manipulate test scores to give Nicole the higher academic placement, it catapults a chain of events leading to a student's suicide. New evidence arises suggesting the suicide was actually a murder and Nicole sets out to find the true killer before she becomes the next murder victim."
