Lise Romanoff, CEO and Managing Director of Vision Films shares, "Cheat is a twisted love story with a forceful female lead that challenges viewers' expectations. It takes the audience on a gripping roller coaster that keeps one guessing until the final scene."

Filmmaker Greg A. Sager navigates the characters and audience through the messy waters of an affair. "By placing these characters in extreme emotionally charged situations, I wanted to delve into the complexities and consequences of an affair from every angle," says Sager. "Affairs are a dangerous game of deception, fear, desire, and anger, depending on where you stand in the triangle."

The film stars newcomer Shelby Handley (All is Fine in '89), Ry Barrett (In A Violent Nature, Cult Hero), Latin music star Rodrigo Massa (Instructions Not Included), Arthur Boan (The Gardener), Jay Wong (Bait), and Madison Caan (Charmed to Death).
