"Wifey" Description:
When life as a curiously-paired, newlywed Los Angeles couple--in the midst of a growing global economic crisis--becomes literally unworkable, Rodney makes a snap decision. A 25-year-old sports marketer and Vegas-hopping playboy of a hubby, he has found himself unceremoniously laid off, his breezy life threatened. His naive, 22-year-old ‘exotic’ wife, “P.V.", a sophomore realtor, is also unexpectedly struggling. In a breath, he unilaterally determines that they should leave the carefully manicured palms of their California cul-de-sac behind, and relocate—to Texas.
So, they sell virtually everything they own, and embark upon an existence in the urban heart of North Texas--Dallas. But an eerie, horrifying dream that P.V. experiences before their trip becomes a dark and pain-filled prophesy, that ultimately threatens the very foundations of their humanity.
Depravity, despair, and an uneven pavement of good intentions lead their young marriage—and lives—onto a one-way road, with a shocking twist and hair-raising end. Lyrical, haunting, and equally provocative, "Wifey" is a psychological thriller by attorney and former human rights arbitrator/mediator, Fey Ugokwe.
