There’s a saying that no good deed goes unpunished. It is valid for the couple who are at the center of Lifetime’s thriller, ‘Black Hearted Killer.’ The premise follows Julie and Dennis, who are devastated when their daughter dies. However, they decide to do the world a favor and donate her organs. Furthermore, they opt out of initiating any contact with the recipients but keep a channel open in case any of the recipients want to reach out to them. Soon enough, a woman named Vera reaches out to Julie, expressing her gratitude at receiving the couple’s daughter’s heart.
Initially, the couple spends some time with Vera, but she starts to cross boundaries and brings disorder to their lives. A lot of the action that plays out is dependant on the setting. It might make you wonder where ‘Black Hearted Killer’ has been filmed. We are here to tell you that and walk you through the cast.
