My Best Friend’s Secret Life is Lifetime’s newest thriller drama that is set to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. It is about a girl making a new friend and trusting her blindly.
The title of the Lifetime movie has been changed twice; first it was Friends in Deadly Places but was then changed to My Escort Best Friend before settling on the current title.

The official synopsis reads:
“When teenager Maggie makes a new friend in the cool, edgy Laurel, she’s thrilled. But Maggie soon realizes she’s being groomed for something much worse than a best friend, and it’s up to her mother Kate to save her.”
