Synopsis/Details
Rod Ritchie is a Southern realtor drowning in debt, and alcohol. Two things he's hiding from his wife Brandy, a religious woman desperate to have a child.
Of course, Brandy's distracted by her own issues. Aside from the little hiccup that is her fertility, Rod's assistant Kyle just confessed his undying love for Brandy.
But Brandy's loyal. “Rod would have to be dead and in the ground, or I'd have to catch him cheating red-handed.”
So Kyle gets engaged to Joycelyn, a convicted murderer up for parole, whom he's been visiting once a week. Of course, being incarcerated hasn't helped Joycelyn's drug addiction. A weakness that Florence, a fellow inmate, has exploited to ease her own loneliness.
At Joycelyn's request, Kyle regularly checks in with Dream, Joycelyn's teenage daughter, currently living with a foster family. Having a mother in prison has given Joycelyn a complex. She always has to lead a picture-perfect life – straight A's, head cheerleader, quarterback boyfriend.
That's probably why Dream started a secret relationship with Art, a short-tempered overweight outcast with a dark family history, currently living under the same foster roof.
In walks Dominique, a fetching actress hired by Kyle to pose as a prospective house buyer and seduce Rod.
