The Lifetime movie Escaping Dad is about an abusive husband who drives his wife to leave him. Darren is a dirty District Attorney who’s involved with an illegal Mexican cartel and his wife Erin (Sunny Mabrey) has proof of his involvement. So when she takes the kids and runs, she’s not just running from Darren, she’s running from the police. Darren puts out an amber alert and tells the press Erin is mentally unstable.
