This movie is about the syndicate. Is it the same syndicate that Olga worked for? Or is it something else? Well, it’s the Vogel Syndicate, but I kept yelling about the syndicate like the narrator in White Slaves of Chinatown.
Vanessa (NuNu Thurman) has a good life. Her hard working prosecutor husband Michael (Don Snipes) is moving up to be an assistant DA. She’s helping to raise her sister Maya’s (Angeleah Speights) son Andrew (Dominick English). And she’s a good therapist to her clients. But when her husband decides to arrest all of the members of the aforementioned syndicate, well, he’s soon killed and the police think that she did it.
The truth? Her sister — who brings a new boyfriend named Otto (Karl E. Landler) whose accident keeps changing into the house — is working for the syndicate and killed Michael to save her boy, but sent Vanessa away to save her. Perhaps the bigger news is that Michael and Maya are the real parents of Andre, so she has been lied to basically for years and that oh yeah, Michael’s friend Elijah (Karl E. Landler) was also involved. So then, at the end, when it all seems happy — spoiler after spoiler — he kills Maya and Vanessa now really does have a son in Andre to raise.
So is that happy ending? Maybe?
Directed by David Y. Chung (the cinematographer of another Tubi Original, The Housekeeper) and written by Geoffrey D. Calhoun, this is the kind of twist and turn thriller that Tubi was made for. Sure, you’ll figure it all out long before it ends, but sometimes you eat a whole bag of potato chips too.
You can watch this on Tubi.
