Sadly, there's no trailer to accompany this story, but the plot can be somewhat pieced together. Bree is probably a young adult who wanted to reach out to her mother. She's likely obsessed with the idea of them having a close relationship and feels threatened by anyone who she believes will come between them now. Laura will welcome her and completely ignore the first five to seven warning signs that Bree is a psychopath because she is blinded by wanting her daughter's forgiveness and approval.
Wow, this warmed my heart. We literally share the exact same story. I am a student at Spelman College, and I am working on a program on deconstructing stigma around HIV and Black women. I would love to speak with you for any advice.

Around age twelve or thirteen, just as she was entering adolescence, my daughter Michelle started struggling with anorexia, anxiety and depression. The first symptoms I remember noticing seemed to be triggered by switching to a new Junior High. Michelle had a difficult time adjusting and making friends at her new school, began showing signs of depression, and out of nowhere she started having panic attacks. I found a therapist for her, and at first it seemed to help.
In the fall of her freshman year of high school, Michelle made a startling revelation: she was struggling with an eating disorder and needed help. I took her to a therapist who listed eating disorders as among her areas of expertise, and after talking with Michelle and I, both together and separately, she determined that Michelle was suffering from Anorexia. She sent us to the Eating Recovery Center in Plano, Texas for a formal Assessment, which confirmed the diagnosis of anorexia. My head was spinning: how was this possible? How could my daughter be starving herself right under my nose? I was overwhelmed by guilt and felt like a failure as a parent.
Dear Ali. Thank you for sharing part of your story. Narcissists are often masters at showing one face to their community and quite another to their family, especially their scapegoat child. Trees are the best of friends. They stand tall and breathe out life-giving oxygen. My best to you.
