‘Girl in the Video’ Lifetime movie premiere: How to watch without cable

Based on a true story, the new Lifetime movie Girl in the Video is scheduled to premiere Saturday, Jan. 13 at 8/7c.

According to Lifetime, Girl in the Video examines the story of widowed mother Mo who is managing parenting two teens the best she can. Her daughter Krissy has begun secretly chatting online with Toby, whom she believes is a cute high school senior, and Krissy sneaks out one night to meet him at a party.

When Mo discovers she’s missing the next morning, Mo and her son Robbie start an all-out search for her and alert local detectives. As the case garners media attention, an anonymous tip reveals Krissy is being held captive and exploited in sexually abusive live streams for money on the dark web.

Racing to find Krissy before she is murdered, Mo and Robbie track down every clue they can to try to bring Krissy home.
