Taste of His Own Poison is a newly released title on Lifetime, which follows the story of a mother called Courteney who is desperate to help her teenage son Dylan, who gets bullied by another boy named Sawyer. Sawyer always steals Dylan’s lunch, but he has never had to face any consequences.
However, one afternoon, Sawyer makes the mistake of stealing Dylan’s lunch again, and as soon as he takes a bite of his sandwich, he immediately drops dead in the cafeteria. This leads to a police investigation, and a shocking truth comes to light: Dylan’s lunch was poisoned.
While the police believed that the boy had done it deliberately to punish Sawyer, Courteney is torn between trying to prove her son’s innocence, while wondering whether he could truly be capable of murder. Starring Rhonda Dent and Nolan Dubuc in the lead roles, Taste of His Own Poison premiered at 8 PM ET on Friday, July 11, 2025.
