synopsis
High Noon is one of four made-for-TV movies adapted from Nora Roberts' romance novels for the Lifetime channel in 2009 (along with Tribute, Northern Lights, and Midnight Bayou). Emilie de Ravin (Lost) stars as Phoebe McNamara, a single mom who works a stressful job as a high-stakes hostage negotiator for the police department. Phoebe's hectic life gets more complicated when she begins dating hunky bar owner Duncan Swift (Ivan Sergei) -- and finds herself targeted by a psychotic stalker obsessed with the Gary Cooper Western High Noon. This romantic thriller features Cybill Shepherd in a supporting role as Phoebe's neurotic mother, Essie.
