Most of the storylines found in your typical Lifetime movies are outrageous, but even more so when you learn that some of them are actually inspired by real events. Such is the shocking case with the network's latest addition to its “Ripped from the Headlines” series, Taken at a Basketball Game, which premieres tonight, March 15 at 8pm Eastern Time.
"Desperate to bond with his estranged 18-year-old daughter Robyn (Claire Qute), Wayne Edwards (D.B. Woodside) gets them tickets to a basketball game where he envisions the two of them cheering on their favorite team while they reconnect," reads the thriller's official synopsis, per Lifetime. "However, when Robyn goes to the restroom and doesn’t return, Wayne’s worst fear is confirmed when he realizes she’s been kidnapped. On a mission to find her in a stadium filled with thousands of people, he races against the clock and will stop at nothing to find her before it is too late."
