Lifetime greenlights its latest summer release, Dateless to Dangerous: My Son’s Secret Life, a gripping drama that every parent of teens can relate to as they navigate identity, acceptance, social alienation and explores the rising subculture of incels – usually involuntarily celibate men. Starring Jodie Sweetin (Full House), Alexander Elliot (Locke & Key), and Nikki Roumel (Ginny & Georgia), the movie is set to premiere Saturday, June 21 @ 8PM/7c.
The start of a new school year brings unexpected challenges for siblings Miles (Alexander Elliot) and Haley (Nikki Roumel) as they navigate dramatic changes in their lives. Their mother, Noelle (Jodie Sweetin), who’s newly separated, works tirelessly to provide for her family while adjusting to their new reality. In an effort to bond with her brother, Haley coaches Miles through his romantic pursuits, only for him to face public humiliation. As sibling tensions rise, Noelle begins to notice troubling changes in her son – anger, isolation, and hostility toward her, Haley, and friends at school. After yet another crushing rejection, Miles spirals into the toxic world of incels – a dark and shadowy online underworld that fuels his growing resentment. As he slips further into darkness, Noelle and Hayley must race against time to save him, desperate to reach him before he’s consumed completely.
