Salem Falls

On November 19 the Lifetime movie Salem Falls, based on the Jodi Picoult novel, will debut at 8 PM (time corrected).

Jack McBride (James Van Der Beek), a beloved teacher and soccer coach at an all girls’ prep school, has a seemingly perfect life until a student’s crush initiates an uproar of accusations that ruins his reputation and destroys his career. After serving eight months in jail for the scandal, Jack leaves his once idyllic life to start over and stumbles upon the little New England town of Salem Falls. There, he takes a job at the local diner and is befriended by its owner, Addie Peabody (Sarah Carter). Just as Jack begins to feel whole again, a group of local girls and their ringleader (AJ Michalka) turn his world upside down with a shocking accusation against him, triggering a modern day witch hunt in a town haunted by its own troubled history.

Here is a short trailer for Salem Falls.
