Lifetime just announced that they greenlighted another Ripped From The Headlines movie. This one is on human trafficking called Girl In Room 13.

Based on a true story, this stars Anne Heche (Men In Trees), Larissa Dias (When Calls The Heart), and Max Montesi (The 100).

Here is what we know about this.

What Is Girl In Room 13 About?

According to The Futon Critic, Girl in Room 13 centers around Grace (Dias). At a very young age, she suffered a sports injury and was prescribed opioids. She quickly became addicted to them and had to go to rehab three times before she turned her life around.  

Grace then starts to work at the family’s restaurant. Her mom, Janie (Heche) is there to keep an eye on her. However, Grace still is dealing with her past. What happens when her friend coerces her into meeting her former love interest and drug dealer, Richie (Montesi). Things go from bad to worse! Grace finds herself imprisoned in a hotel room with no way out.

Held captive, Richie repeatedly violates Grace. He tries to break her by starving her and forcing her to consume drugs and alcohol. He wants her to get so weakened that she becomes compliant and can be sold into human trafficking.

Without the support of her husband or the local police, who believe that Grace is using again, Janie refuses to give up. Now, she is on an all-out hunt to find her daughter! 

Stopping at nothing, Janie discovers the dark world of human trafficking and the shocking statistics about its widespread victims and its unexpected accomplices.
