After taking on the country-music scene in Murder in Nashville earlier this month, the latest Lifetime thriller is taking on another corner of the music industry: the R&B scene. Premiering tonight, February 15, at 8pm Eastern Time, Trapped in the Spotlight centers on an estranged R&B duo Luscious, and what happens when they're shockingly brought together yet again by a dangerous kidnapper.
"Neveah, a canceled R&B singer, struggles to rebuild her career and regain her fame 15 years after breaking up with her estranged co-star, Lupita, who publicly betrayed her. When a psychotic music producer kidnaps both women, they must earn their survival by completing their magnum opus album while being held hostage in his studio," reads the official synopsis of the movie, per Lifetime. "With life and legacy on the line, Neveah and Lupita must face the demons of their past and decide if they can trust each other in order to make it out alive."
Leading the cast of Trapped in the Spotlight is High School Musical star Monique Coleman as Neveah, the younger member of Luscious — the actress is also an executive producer on the film — and Melyssa Ford (Hunting Housewives, Sworn Justice: Taken Before Christmas) as the group's elder singer Lupita. Coleman and Ford are joined by actors Emmanuel Kabongo as Izaak, Romaine Waite as Marcel, Glen Michael Grant as Lenny, Scott Anthony Cavalheiro as Quinten, Eden Cupid as Simon and Sammy Jo Higgens as Roxanne. In the director's seat, we've got Nicole G. Leier, with a script penned by writers Derick Ackerley, Jag Gill, Alberto Halfeld and Rene Rodriguez-Lopez.
