“Wifey Unknown” revolves around love, estrangement, and redemption. Under the thin veil of humor, it shows the story of a lonely, disabled wife, Rita, roaming like a wraith in the vast mansion her husband, Yardley, built for her. It tells how Rita slowly fades away from the busy life of Yardley without Yardley even consciously realizing what is happening. Then there is Alice, Yardley’s old friend and Rita’s supposed primary care physician, who appears in the beautiful vacation rental with lousy phone and internet connections when Rita suddenly starts “sleep acting.” Alice and Yardley try to determine what is happening to Rita and, in the process, discover much more about themselves than anticipated. As Yardley encounters events Rita and he went through together, he realizes that love needs to be nurtured, shown, and maintained- not just professed. “Wifey Unknown” tells about how a business tycoon dreaming of connecting the whole world loses and re-establishes a connection with his wife.

A shady businessman, Ralph, a physically disabled writer, Murphy, whose stories foretell every action Ralph would take, and a dingy basement serving as an interrogation chamber- that’s how ‘Strange Connection’ begins. As Ralph grills Murphy, he realizes that every step he takes to evade Murphy’s narrative propels him toward the destiny Murphy had already scripted for him. The power balance between the interrogator and the prisoner oscillates, relationships disintegrate, and the boundaries between past and present, good and evil, and right and wrong dissolve into a murky haze. Will Ralph unearth how Murphy is sabotaging his plans? Or will Murphy triumph in her quest to conquer Ralph?
