Get caught in a web of murder and lies as Lifetime Movie Network premieres the film adaptation of one of best-selling author Ann Rule's most popular crime books, Everything She Ever Wanted. Gina Gershon (Showgirls, Face/Off, Bound), Ryan McPartlin (TV's Living with Fran, TV's Chuck), Victor Garber (TV's Alias, Milk) and Rachel Blanchard (TV's Clueless, TV's 7th Heaven) star in the two-night, miniseries event. The highly-anticipated production is inspired by the true story of a Southern husband and wife whose storybook wedding signals the beginning of a nightmare marriage that is ultimately upended by greed and violence. Part One of Ann Rule's Everything She Ever Wanted will premiere Saturday, November 14, at 8pm ET/9pm PT, and Part Two will premiere Sunday, November 15, at 8pm ET/9pm PT, on Lifetime Movie Network, Lifetime's sister network and the second highest rated women's channel.
With her younger husband, Tom (McPartlin), by her side, Pat Allanson (Gershon) is determined to become part of Atlanta's elite high society. When she convinces him to spend all of his money on a lavish Southern plantation, Tom is pushed to his financial limits. He is forced to ask his estranged mother for money and to confront his disapproving father (Garber). But, nothing is ever enough to satisfy Pat's overwhelming greed, and, soon, her insatiable thirst for power and status reaches a dangerous pitch. It seems that no one, not even her own sister (Blanchard), is safe when Pat Allanson doesn't get her way.
