Got You by Erik Therme revolves around Leah Chapman, a woman grappling with her half-sister Amanda's sudden death. Right before Amanda's passing, she confides in Leah that her young son (Drew) is in danger. Before long, Leah's life is pulled into a roller-coaster ride of a murder mystery, which is cloaked in secrets and peril. Amanda's death pushes Leah to address the bond with her estranged father (Damon), whose double life led to an affair that produced Amanda. Further probing leads Leah to stumble upon shocking details about Amanda's life before her death. As Leah begins to unravel the deceptions hidden in Amanda’s past, it becomes evident that someone is watching her from behind the scenes, intending to harm her if necessary. Can Leah confront the secrets in her family's past and bring closure to Amanda's death?
