Excitingly Together!

DramaRomance

After Larry Darrent accidentally kills his lover's blackmailing husband, someone else is arrested for the crime. When he is found guilty, Larry and Wanda have just three weeks together before he must give himself up or let an innocent man go to the gallows.

VIBE

A poignant, old-fashioned drama about doomed love and impossible choices. It feels like a whispered confession, heavy with the weight of consequence and the fleeting beauty of stolen moments before an inevitable, tragic end.
