AJ Michalka holds hands with Allie MacDonald and Zoe Belkin in this first look still from Salem Falls.

The 20-year-old actress stars as Gillian Duncan in the Jodi Picoult book-based film.

Salem Falls summary: A handsome stranger comes to the sleepy New England town of Salem Falls in hopes of burying his past: once a teacher at a girls’ prep school, Jack St. Bride was destroyed when a student’s crush sparked a powder keg of accusation.

Amid the rustic calm of Salem Falls, a quartet of teenage girls harbor dark secrets — and they maliciously target Jack with a shattering allegation. Now, at the center of a modern-day witch hunt, Jack is forced once again to proclaim his innocence.

Jodi Picoult’s Salem Falls premieres Saturday, November 19, @ 8pm ET/PT on Lifetime.

AJ is also pictured at the Op Winter Wonderland party held at Siren Studios in Los Angeles on Wednesday night (November 16).
