Valerie Maas (Aunjanue Ellis) is a devoted, churchgoing wife and mother whose faith is shattered when she discovers that her husband Dutch (Raz Adoti) is living a secret double life. And when she's subsequently arrested for the murder of a famous singer - who, it turns out, has a big secret of his own - Valerie is as shocked as anyone; she's the last person anyone would suspect would do such a thing. But she may actually have the best motive of all, and an assistant D.A. with an election to win is determined to prove she's guilty... even if he's wrong.

Beyond provacative. This thriller crosses subject lines straight out of today's headlines. From politics to faith. The psyche to sex and betrayal, Cover grasps the audience with a gripping story line and suspence right out the gate.

Vivica Fox is extraordinary in her role as the Valerie's friend who gives her the hook-up with the lastest photography jobs. Although she's head strong, deep inside she's not exactly loving the opposite sex at the moment. But has Valerie's back. In between the pressure of a new job, building relationships and dealing with a deranged co-worker, Dutch (Raz Adoti) has his hands full portraying someone who has it all: a perfect wife, beautiful daughter and the purchase of a big wonderful home. Life can't get any better than this. Certainly true in this case.

Where do you go when you find your husband has 'stepped out' on you? And what do you do when its with another man? Living on the Down Low is common in the black community. As its truth shatters lives. Duke openly leads you to understand how it works. How its so easily to perceive something that isn't really there. 

The 'eye blowing' method of discovering if your target walks the same way you do... genius. And when it happens to Dutch, he now understands the unjust act he's commited against his family and God. He learns a hard lesson.
