Gorgeous, wealthy, young Taran Hathaway moves into a house in a suburban neighborhood across the street from high school teacher Sam Luck and his workaholic wife Kate. When Sam offers to help Taran with her moving boxes, he is intrigued by the mysterious young woman across the street — until Taran shows up in his English class the next day. Even though he is her teacher, Sam can’t resist being a helpful neighbor and develops a friendship with Taran that becomes increasingly inappropriate as she gives him generous gifts. When Sam’s life begins to fall apart around him — he is the victim of car theft, accused of stealing, and fired for allegedly sexually harassing a student — his wife becomes suspicious of Sam and Taran’s relationship and begins asking questions… realizing that Taran moved to town with plans for the ultimate revenge.
Once again, Lifetime outdoes itself by barely providing any promotional material! Luckily there was a poster for the film on some press releases.
Damaged is directed by Rick Bota (Happy Face Killer), with a script by Riley Weston (The Nanny Express) and Kevin Leeson (Mongolian Death Worm, Riddles of the Sphinx).
Damaged premieres Saturday, January 3 on Lifetime!

January 3, 2015 at 10:39 pmI’ve just finished watching DAMAGED and I would say despite Sam being an AP English teacher and the Teacher of the Year, he is the MOST stupid teacher ever that I’ve seen in my life.
Sam didn’t even process everything that’s going on in his life–the diner, the bank withdrawal, the porn hacking, the sexual allegation, Katy’s accusation about Taran, Mattie, etc. It’s just to tiring to list down every single thing.
Chris Klein lacks emotion from the start to finish.
What a waste of my time! After watching it, I felt I was really DAMAGED!!!

January 4, 2015 at 6:04 amRichard, I completely agree! Lol. I stopped watching it after the wife went into the house because it was becoming more riskier and Taran was obviously a nut case but I can’t believe how Sam just allowed Taran to buy him all those things, destroy a good friendship and his marriage and as well lack the emotion outside of going into a depression.

January 26, 2017 at 8:40 pmThe question I have is what is Taran Hathaway so vengeful about? that she feels that Sam Luck deserved to get paid back in such a terrible way. Didn’t Sam have an affair with her mother and Taran caught them having sex or something like that.
