Fidelity Clause

A former model-turned-entrepreneur once had the world at her fingertips, now she has to grasp a world of torment; her cheating psychiatrist husband blurs the line between Psychotherapist and Psycho, when he resorts to mind games and unscrupulous schemes, intent on framing her of adultery and escaping his vows free & clear.

After the ceremony concludes at a rainy funeral, two friends stroll the grounds; reminisce and rehash memories of their past lives and their dearly departed loved one...while two others use the cemetery parking lot to have a sultry indiscretion, in the backseat of a car.

Once -to her a lifetime ago AND just yesterday, an exuberant (ex)model-turn-entrepreneur had it ALL; a dynamic matchmaking enterprise, a blooming magazine venture and an adoring husband..she thought was perfect..

Perfect..if not for the overbearing personality traits of an insecure, controlling obsessive compulsive..other than that... & hindsight IS 20/20

An extremely attractive, prominent Psychiatrist - with a PhD in psychology, has a knack for getting everything he wants; a Residency at the preeminent medical facility, of an upscale community; The woman of his dreams, then getting her to walk away from her career..HE JUST ISN’T FINISHED YET!

“Living the dream”, having everything isn’t enough for this discontent deviant, he must have more! Namely, a seductive temptress, half his age (whenever he wants) and a luxurious, unfettered life without his wife, who he no longer desires

BUT, he can’t just divorce her, he’ll have to split everything, maybe even pay alimony ..HE WANTS IT ALL!

Another major problem he faces (short of killing her) is a product of his OWN distrust (& self-doubt) -a “little” superseding stipulation HE included with their prenuptial agreement -the Fidelity Clause

If his extramarital affair causes a divorce, HE LOSES EVERYTHING! So, SHE must get caught cheating.. another problem..she only wants her husband!

With sleazy sex’capades feeding his ferocious lust, discrete collaborations seeding his schemes and psychotropic drugs at his disposal, it is evident he will push the envelope to the edge to achieve his goals!

Although his unscrupulous “psychological warfare” tactics -including illicitly drugging his wife, are effective against her, they are fraught with flaws; thoughtless -in more ways than one -but are inadvertently deadly!

Author Bio:
I'm a fan of meaningful (& JUICY) classic fare - music and movies -a good soundtrack always captivates me, they effect those memorable moments. I try to always be as accurate as possible, with everything I do, but even more so with something of this magnitude - creating & writing a screenplay / movie script..!Wow! likewise, I wanted the heart and soul I poured into it to soak through (I wasn't going to just "phone it in"). Logline aside, I knew I had a "connection" to this project when I learned (from research) the Tagline I came up with: "When Unrelenting Lust, Deep Betrayal and Psychological Warfare Breach the Heart -Mind, Body and Spirit are the Casualties".
