Synopsis

When Gem (Erica Hubbard) asks her long-lost friend to be the maid of honour at her wedding, her fiancé, Allen (Brad James), has no clue that he’s meeting Kiya (Altovise Lawrence), a wildly outspoken novelist and self-proclaimed lesbian . Though an aspiring writer himself, Allen does not find a friend in his new house-guest but a rival for Gem's attention. Eventually, the soon-to-be husband discovers there's a lot more to the story than his fiancée explained when he finds himself in a modern-day love triangle.
