'Murder in the Vineyard' is another addition to the line-up of movies that Lifetime has chalked out for its viewers in order to keep themselves booked and their viewers hooked this summer. The film revolves around mother-daughter duo Emma and Beatrice, essayed by Helena Mattson and Emma Fuhrmann respectively, who bid adieu to the big city life and move to a quaint town.
Emma's career is on an upward swing and Beatrice seems to have no problems navigating her high school life in a place she's just moved to. She makes friends easily and is fancied by her school's heartthrob, Bryan as well. That's when things start turning ugly. Right from photos of her in her private space hitting the internet to being hazed by a mysterious person at a school party, nothing is off-limits. The bullying keeps increasing every day and Emma stands strong next to Beatrice to protect her but will she be able to protect her if things turn violent and dangerous?
The official premise of the film on Lifetime's website reads, "Emma (Helena Mattson) and her teenage daughter Beatrice (Emma Fuhrmann) moved from the big city to a smaller town.
