Dying in Plain Sight is a 2024 Lifetime original movie that tells the emotional story of overweight high school student Morgan Cruz (played by Raffa Virago) and her mother Kim (played by Nicola Correia-Damude), who both harbor dark secrets that lead to devastating circumstances.
When Kim leaves her cheating husband, she becomes so focused on "clean eating" that she doesn't notice Morgan has stopped eating altogether. While Morgan receives positive validation for her changing body, privately she begins to experience the terrible side effects of her eating disorder.
Morgan's cries for help seem to fall on deaf ears until she's hospitalized for life-threatening malnutrition, leading Kim to finally realize how her own disordered eating was a terrible influence on Morgan, pushing her to the brink of death.
The movie is inspired by true events and explores the complex relationship between Morgan and Kim, highlighting the devastating impact of eating disorders and the importance of open communication and support within families dealing with these issues.
