Based upon the book of the same title by Michelle Renee, it was also featured in Show Me the Money (2009).
Notable variations from the actual crime:
1) There was an adult female roommate that was also kidnapped.
2) The majority of the money was never recovered. Only $93,000 of the $360,000 stolen was recovered.
3) The suspects were two black males, and a Hispanic male and female.
4) The principal male suspect was acquitted of the kidnapping charge against Michelle Renee, but convicted for the other people.
Females in jeopardy: At about 10 minutes in, Michelle and her daughter are assaulted and kidnapped by three home invaders. This is opposite from the usual Lifetime movie scenario where the female is in jeopardy within the last 10 minutes.
