This movie begins with Dorian (Shane Marriott) and Shantae Graham (Sagine Sémajuste) reading their marriage vows to each other. The thing is, we aren’t watching their wedding, but instead a bloody bathroom and signs of a murder. Maybe this marriage hasn’t worked out so well.

A year into their marriage, all the Grahams do is argue. They had planned to have a baby that she lost and she’s left the nursery, going in there to cry when she thinks of the child. As for Dorian, he works too much and often stays out late. Early on, we see him at a gentlemen’s club for a bachelor party when he runs into Reagan (Krista Nazaire), the sister of his wife and the bad girl of the family. She’s wasted and fighting with a bunch of guys, so he gives her a ride home but promises not to tell her sister that she’s back in town.

Dorian used to be a lothario back in the day — a year ago — and he misses his freedom. Shantae decides to give him a marriage pass — think Hall Pass but more of a giallo plot — where he will be allowed to cheat for one night with one person. She also gets the opportunity to do this and he’s already freaking out about it, but this does not stop him for getting with her sister, who even makes him say that he loves her while they’re having sex, even if he doesn’t mean it. She starts wanting more quickly, even if he’s explained that he doesn’t want anything but the one night marriage pass.

Of course, once he learns that Reagan is dating his friend Myles (Colton Royce) — he says that she has a great throat game, a thing I’ve never heard before and I was shocked. Shocked, I’ll tell you — he decides that he wants to be with her as much as he can, even having her sneak into his gynecology office for special appointments that his front desk nurse (Sarah Cleveland) is already spilling the tea over.

There’s also an uncomfortable family barbecue — Shantae and Reagan’s parents dislike Dorian and have no problem telling him that. Then things get way worse when Myles follows Reagan and attacks Dorian and things get out of hand with Dorian forgetting his Hippocratic oath to do no harm and killing his friend and hiding the body. Can it get tougher on him? What if Reagan gets pregnant and starts sending letters to the house telling Shantae that whoever her husband used his marriage path with has the child she can’t have?

Directed by Sam Coyle (Deadly Estate) and written by Briana Cole, who wrote the book that this was based on. I haven’t even gotten to the big twist, which is pretty great. You can see this as “psychological and domestic suspense” or, you know, a giallo. It’s a pretty fun movie and exactly the stuff that I love from a Tubi Original.

You can watch this on Tubi.
