The synopsis is: Infidelity, desire, and betrayal collide in this explosive drama. When two couples intertwine, a web of lies and deceit unravels, leading to a shocking climax. Can love survive the ultimate betrayal?
On his experience being a part of this movie, McCrary said, “It was awesome. First off, Wendy is one of my favorite actresses, and now she is one of my favorite directors.”
Working with Wendy Raquel Robinson as a director
“I got a call from Wendy to do this project, and it was also great because I got to reunite with my little brother, Blue Kimble, who is such an amazing talent,” he said.
“Blue and I did a show in the past together, and our chemistry is off the chain. It was great to reunite with Blue, and to work with Wendy in the capacity of director,” he elaborated.
“Wendy was amazing,” McCrary exclaimed. “Wendy is a queen! I used to watch and admire both Wendy and Darius McCrary before I even got in this game. To have the both of them on this project is mind-blowing.”
“Wendy cared so much about the cast and the entire crew,” McCrary said. “It was a blessing to find a director who could nurture, and that’s what Wendy did big time. Actors like Wendy make the best directors. Wendy was able to stir the pot on set, and I felt that translated well.”
“It was also great to work with ladies that we have good chemistry with as well. Cynthia Bailey and Apryl Jones were just wonderful,” he said.
“This movie was a timeless project, and we were able to bring a vibe to it that is timeless, with how we approached it as a cast. It was written so smartly by Charlia Boyer, and you really get to know these characters and get locked into those storylines.”
