Stop at Nothing

An ex prosecutor signs on to guard a teenage girl caught in a brutal custody fight. The job seems straightforward at first, a protective shield against a mother who has just lost legal control of her child. But the case is not simple, because the girl's father faced abuse allegations that were dismissed, leaving a trail of rumors and doubt. The bodyguard must sift through conflicting accounts, secret motives, and the pressure of viewers who want a quick answer. As threats multiply and evidence remains murky, she protects the girl while trying to uncover who is telling the truth and who is lying, without tipping into sensationalism. The tension stays tight as new clues surface. The audience stays in the room as every scene raises the stakes.

Directed by Chris Thomson, Stop at Nothing is a 1991 television thriller created by Stephen W Johnson. The program centers Veronica Hamel as Nettie Forbes, a seasoned protector who must keep a frightened girl safe while unraveling a murky web of secrets.

Reviews applauded the film for its compact suspense and its focus on moral ambiguity in protective work. The story tests trust, loyalty, and the limits of what one should do to shield a child, while forcing the heroine to weigh professional duties against personal loyalties in a high stakes environment.

Set among the early 90s shift toward intimate thriller plots on television, the movie reflects a era when custody battles and protectors of vulnerable youngsters became a recurrent backdrop for tense drama. Veronica Hamel's portrayal anchors the mood, turning a straightforward protective job into a lens on power, risk, and the people who stand between danger and a child.

Box office: not applicable to a television movie. Stop at Nothing aired in 1991 on television and did not report theatrical earnings, focusing instead on small screen suspense rather than a commercial film release.
