SYNOPSIS
Riley, a trust-damaged woman blissfully in love with her Dominican partner Juan Carlos, stumbles upon a suspicious scene that sets off a chain of events. Wrestling with trust issues stemming from a traumatic past, Riley’s discovery leads her to confide in her best friend Danielle, a cop. Little does she know, her pseudo-investigation results in a domino effect of events, shattering her world, and leaving her to face the consequences of her actions.
