A Friend's Betrayal 1996 is a movie about Sarah Evans, a compassionate high school guidance counselor in a seemingly idyllic suburban town in 1996. Her world is built on trust, especially her lifelong friendship with Michael, a charismatic and well-respected police detective. When a series of inexplicable disappearances of vulnerable teenagers begins to plague the community, Sarah becomes deeply concerned, noticing unsettling patterns that the police, led by Michael, seem to dismiss or mishandle. As she starts her own quiet investigation, driven by a desperate need to protect her students, Sarah uncovers chilling evidence that points not to an outside threat, but to a dark secret festering within the very heart of the town's authority figures. The most damning clues lead directly back to Michael, forcing Sarah to confront the horrifying truth of "a friend's betrayal," realizing that the man she trusted most might be the very predator she's been trying to escape.
