He is entangled in a steamy affair with rising fashion star, Fiona Hernandez, while simultaneously devoted to his beautiful wife, Celine. Celine wants a child with Caleb more than anything in the world. As Fiona's patience wears thin with Caleb's promises to leave his wife, Celine discovers Caleb's infidelity; they break up. Caleb and Fiona begin to forge a new life together, but Celine becomes obsessed with reclaiming what she believes is rightfully hers, including Caleb's newborn son, Brody. It appears that she may just succeed. But just when Celine thinks she has achieved her devious goals, the film takes yet another twist and turn on this roller coaster ride of a modern-day noir, set in LA.

It’s a little like the great tragic operas: why moralise when it’s so much more fun to watch the world burn?

Subtlety is disregarded and melodrama is heightened, making for one helluva wild time.

9/10

The production has the unadorned simplicity of a hypodermic needle and is just as effective.

Something for the lifetime movie Network. Long, unrealistic , and cringey. At times the storyline seemed to lose focus.

Entertaining and thrilling movie that has an interesting twist about half way through. I enjoyed the bi-coastal settings in Los Angeles and New York. Not familiar with any of the actors but thought they were good. Seems like there could be a sequel- hope so.

All of the characters except for the baby are insufferable. There’s no one to root for honestly and it’s about 45 minutes too long. Don’t waste your time.

This thriller kept me guessing where the story was going next. This film touches on some of our deepest fears and emotions. Great casting and a stellar performance by Liz Fenning. Extremely entertaining.
