When Dan tries to break off the affair, Alex becomes obsessed and stalks the Gallagher family. Amanda Peet plays Dan's wife, Beth.
Alyssa Jirrels plays the Gallaghers' daughter, Ellen. Jirrels is 22, so even if playing a late teenager, makes Ellen older than the child Alex kidnaps in the movie.
Caplan recently starred in the series Fleishman Is In Trouble. Jackson comes on the heels of Dr. Death and Peet recently wrapped a season of Dirty John and the series Brockmire.
