“Our Deadly Vows tells the story of four couples celebrating the one-year wedding anniversary of their close friends, Chance and Grace (Chris Chalk, K.D. Chalk),” according to a synopsis of the film. “The intimate gathering quickly turns into a firestorm of tumultuous relationships and ultimately, murder. As guests begin to meet their untimely ends one by one, survivors must navigate a game of escape, kill or be killed as they try to uncover who or what knows their secrets—and wants them dead—too.”

Chris Chalk’s acting credits include the Academy Award-winning 12 Years a Slave, Kathryn Bigelow’s Detroit, and Gotham, the Fox TV series from the DC universe that saw Chalk play Lucius Fox for 78 episodes.

“While Our Deadly Vows is a mix of thriller, drama and horror, at its heart, it’s a love letter to the diverse communities we are part of as well as those we support,” Chris and K.D. Chalk said in a statement. “We’re honored to be able to bring both emerging and familiar faces to the screen and behind the scenes, and we can’t wait for our audiences to see themselves reflected in a new and exciting way through these performances.”

Our Deadly Vows is produced by Jacques Derosena (Should’ve Been Romeo, Son of The South, Black Pumpkin) Lex Kimbrough (Bk Stories), Eden Marryshow (Jessica Jones), Shaeda Moghaddam (Should’ve Been Romeo, Black Pumpkin), Cesa Pledger (The Equalizer), and Amanda Jabes (Law & Order). The executive producers are Chris Chalk and K.D. Chalk.
