Directed by Jaira Thomas and written by Briana Cole (The Marriage Pass), this finds Brandon (Asan N'Jie) and Andrea (Savannah Steyn) going on a vacation to the UK to try and fix their marriage. He's a workaholic and it seems like whatever got them together is long gone. Even when they make their way to their resort, he's answering work calls.
Things change when they meet Percy (Solomon Israel) and Chanelle (Adwoa Akoto), a married couple who encourage them both to get what they want. For Brandon, that may be a watch and standing up for himself. For Andrea, it's finding what she feels is lost from the marriage. After a night of getting their groove back on, they're shocked when Percy calls them to his room. He's killed Chanelle and needs help getting rid of the body.
From that giallo-esque beginning, Played and Betrayed finds two couples switching the dynamic, going from innocent to role player and getting Brandon and Andrea closer while they deal with something they never thought they'd ever get into and emerge as people -- and a couple -- they never thought they were.
I don't know if I totally believe the changes that they go through in just a few weeks, much less the way they bring in the story of how Percy and Chanelle helped Tia (Lola Wayne) kill off her horrible husband, but I guess when you go so far down the path, you have no problem doing some dark deeds and being just fine with it. By the end, it seems like our protagonists have become our antagonists.
