​​LOGLINE

​​SYNOPSIS

Nicolette is an ambitious journalist consumed with her investigation of a sex-trafficking ring that she believes has some political underpinnings. Under pressure to back up her incendiary allegations with substantial evidence, she makes effort to connect with Anna, a trafficking survivor who escaped from the ring. Her fiance Eithan, an intelligent and charming entrepreneur, struggles to sustain his tech start-up and is increasingly desperate because he’s running short of funds.  One night, Nicolette learns that Eithan had made a bizarre personal commitment to Alexis McKenzie, a powerful tech financier, in order to secure seed funding from her. While Eithan admits his mistake, and explains that his indiscretion was purely for business, Nicolette must make an urgent choice. Does she love him enough to forgive him? Or, is she angry enough to sacrifice love in vengeance, going undercover as Anna, and endangering their lives to promote her ambition?
