There are secrets, and dark corners of society. Story is primarily told through the eyes of Keisha (played by TaJa Brittaney). Ultimately, the couple must find strength in themselves to triumph.

I give it 2 thumbs up.

This was an interesting film led by great acting performances from the entire cast. The main actress did a spectacular job bringing the character, Kesha, to life and making her believable. There were moments where her character took unexpected turns, but her performance combined with strongly written dialogue helped things make sense. I found myself caring about Kesha and Aiden's journey, which kept me engaged the entire film. I was also curious how all the characters and circumstances would end up tying together. I was left with a few questions, but appreciated the ride. Overall this was a well shot, well done independent film.
