What Would You Kill For?

When Min Richardson's former husband and business partner is discovered dead in the back of the restaurant they ran together, suspicion lands squarely on her. With police pressure mounting and gossip spreading through the neighborhood, she scrambles to clear her name while protecting the little girl she adopted. As she questions staff, old agreements and a tightening legal watch, Min tries to separate fact from rumor, testing loyalties around her and weighing risky choices to keep her family intact. The film follows her tense investigations and the small compromises that escalate into larger dangers, keeping the true perpetrator and the final outcome hidden until the end.

Released in 2025 as a television thriller, the film was directed by Sean Cisterna and created by Grace Knight. Rayisa Kondracki leads the cast, supported by Steve Byers, Laura Provenzano, Tara Yelland and Amanda Martínez.

Too new for major cultural echoes, the movie still puts an underrepresented lead at its center and may spark conversations about adoption, parenthood and how quickly communities assign blame. Its restaurant setting and domestic stakes give it everyday realism that could resonate with viewers who follow character-driven crime stories.

Critical consensus and audience ratings were scarce at release, with a vote average listed but no wide reviews yet. The story centers on trust, reputation and the strains small business owners face when private conflicts turn public. Tension comes from interpersonal friction and legal jeopardy rather than action set pieces, asking whether a person’s past relationships should determine their guilt.

As of release there were no major awards or nominations reported for this TV movie. Any recognition would likely come from television or festival circuits rather than mainstream film award bodies, given its TV movie classification and targeted release.
