Lifetime will be premiering the original movie An Amish Murder on Sunday, January 6, 2013 at 9pm. Based on Linda Castillo’s book Sworn to Silence, An Amish Murder was directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal (Jake and Maggie’s dad) and stars Neve Campbell (who also serves as an executive producer), Neve’s brother Christian, Noam Jenkins, and C. Thomas Howell.

Mark Malone adapted Castillo’s book for the small screen.

The Plot: In An Amish Murder, the peaceful Amish farming community of Painter’s Mill, Ohio, is shattered when a series of brutal murders leaves the town with a sense of frailty and loss of innocence. Among the most affected by the tragedy was Kate Burkholder (Campbell), a young girl who survived the terror and, as a result, left the Amish life behind.

Fifteen years later, Kate returns to Painter’s Mill as its Chief of Police. Certain she’s come to terms with her past, Kate’s renewed life in her hometown is shattered when a murder investigation triggers deep-seated emotions from her childhood and exposes a dark secret that could destroy her.
