Meet Morgan. At first glance, she's just your average cleaning lady. She has no problem getting her hands dirty, which is a good thing considering it's not fancy houses she cleans for a living - it's gruesome crime scenes. It's at one of these scenes that Morgan discovers a key piece of evidence overlooked by the forensics team. This, and her knack for reading blood splatter, catch Nick's attention, a newbie detective working the case. The pair soon become unofficial partners on what's become a stream of related murders and the closer they get to solving the mystery the closer they get to each other. But while they succeed in getting a confession from their primary suspect, their feelings for each other risk blinding them to the truth and they find themselves dangerously close to the real killer.

Caught this on late night TV. Beginning was intriguing enough to stop me dialing around. The two leads were good actors, but then the plot holes began after the twist. The rookie homicide detective and supposedly upstanding moralist turned out to be a pretty poor detective and a hypocrite when it came to ethics. Spoilers After basically deputizing the cleaning lady as his helper he made the morally questionable decision of treating her as his girlfriend, then continued to blab to her about the case he's trying to resolve using police resources. He can't even put two and two together when his police badge goes missing temporarily and a suspect who insisted on seeing the badge before unlocking his door is killed at home without forced entry. And perhaps the "bad" cops he ratted on in his back story might have something to say about his letting a known serial murderer go after insisting he'd turn his own mother in if she broke the law. But of course, he wasn't sleeping with his mother....
Where to begin? The beginning seemed promising, but the movie (or Devin Kelly) quickly grew tiresome. The female lead was not relatable or appealing; even after her backstory was revealed, she was still unlikable.The premise was interesting, but the script just didn't deliver. If it hadn't been for Aaron Ashmore, whose work I like, I'd have given up on this one 30 minutes in.The ending was unrealistic and and out of character, a lousy ending to a movie that never worked.
Devin Kelley, Aaron Ashmore and Stephen Bogaert stars in this Canadian TV movie entitled "Swept Under". This television film which is also known by the title "Maid For Murder" tells the story of a serial murder that is being committed secretly by a crime-scene cleaner Morgan which is being investigate by a rookie detective named Nick.Too bad that being a rookie does not help Nick at all as he struggles to find the serial killer.But in the end,he found an evidence which led to Morgan.Decisions were made at the end as we get to realize why Morgan committed those murders and how Nick reacted to the situation especially when she was about to escape.Personally,I consider it a better-than-average TV movie.It was nice to see great performances from Devine Kelly and Aaron Ashmore as Morgan and Nick respectively.Also,it does not hang on to clichés and predictability which TV movies are accustomed to.Finally,the conclusion would also make the viewers think particularly when Nick allowed Morgan to leave as he was overcome by his feelings for her rather than the nature of his job as a detective.
Fascinating story, interesting plot twists. Not to mention incredibly brilliant acting. More or less a dark comedy that turns darker. I stumbled across this one by accident and seemed it may prove interesting. Well, it was much more than that. A real pleasure to watch actors actually acting. They make it look easy.
