Lifetime’s weekend thriller marathon includes Vanished: Searching for My Sister, starring Tatyana Ali in the lead. She will play a double role, starring as twins Jada and Kayla in the flick.

While Jada is the responsible working sister, Kayla is the wild child. The latter is divorced and shares a daughter with former husband Warren. She requests Jada to look after her child for a few days as she has to set up her new apartment.

When Jada couldn’t contact Kayla after a few days, she files a missing person’s report. After the authorities fail to give her any leads, Jada decides to search for her twin by herself.

The synopsis of the Lifetime movie reads:

“She [Jada] disguises herself as her sister and gets pulled into a world of drugs and deceit in order to learn the shocking truth about what really happened to Kayla.”
