Six

When psychiatrist Duane Johnson reads his wife's diary, he learns the disturbing fact that during a short break-up, just prior to getting married, his wife Zulema had sex with six men. One would think that as a psychiatrist he would be able to manage the emotions involved in learning something like this, but his emotional condition spirals out of control. Things get worse for him when his very sexy and voluptuous sister-in-law Julisa comes into the picture. He reasons that he can create a balance in the relationship with his wife if he found six girls to sleep with of his own. The journey of the first five is wild enough, but when he becomes obsessed with Julisa having to be the sixth girl...his life takes a turn for the worst. For Duane, what seemed like a simple plan of vindication transforms into a crazy intrigue of sexual exploits, emotional imbalance, and even murder. Still, this does not compare to the ironic ending that sends Duane into a permanent state of emotional confusion. "Roger Rodriguez's Six is a page turner to the highest degree. A cautionary tale of lust, obsession, and jealousy, where you can't help but look to see just how far down the rabbit hole goes for our protagonist, or if he'll ever be able to climb back out of those dark depths of the human psyche." -Dylan Herin-Soule Director/Producer "An amazing story driven by passion.
