Part 2: What’s the Plot of the Was the Heiress Switched at Birth Movie All About?
Was the Heiress Switched at Birth is ReelShort’s exclusive vertical drama that’s going to be released soon. So here’s the quick overview of the plot to know more.
Claire Watts and Edith Hanson are two best friends. However, they were completely from two different worlds. Claire was wealthy, hailing from old money, as she was the CEO of her Watts group. She was married to Eric Lyon, a man less successful than her.
On the other hand, Edith was poor, a pregnant widow. So Claire, who was generous, invited her best friend to come stay with her as they prepared to give birth. But what Claire failed to realize is that her best friend had waited for the perfect opportunity to steal her fortune.
As Claire and Edith gave birth to their daughters, Edith took her biological daughter, Lucy, and decided to switch Lucy’s place with Claire’s daughter, Phoebe. This way, Edith wanted her daughter to become the future heiress and enjoy the wealthy lifestyle.
But what Edith didn’t expect was Claire to become a silent witness of her evil master plan and actually switch back the girls to their true places.
Eighteen years later, Claire’s daughter Phoebe was rising high in life, graduating early, and all set to take over her mother’s company. Whereas Edith, believing she was raising her friend’s daughter, had made the girl’s life miserable.
With Phoebe’s eighteenth birthday approaching, Edith decided to claim back her biological daughter and enjoy the rich life. However, Claire was ready to put the antagonists in their rightful place—prison.
