Wifey

When life as an oddly-paired, newlywed couple in sun-kissed, suburban Los Angeles--in the midst of a growing global economic crisis--becomes literally unworkable, Rodney, a 25-year-old playboy of a husband from the grit of the city, makes a decision. He unilaterally determines that he and "P.V.", his ambitious but naive, 22-year-old Trinidadian wife--the daughter of wealthy immigrants--should immediately downsize and relocate to Texas. So P.V., a suddenly struggling realtor used to fabulous weekends away with her girlfriends, and Rodney, a freshly laid-off marketer and Vegas-hopping sports addict, sell virtually everything they own and embark upon a tinier existence in the bustling heart of North Texas--Dallas. But an eerie and 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...New secrets, despair, and an uneven pavement of good intentions lead to two bizarre and stalking street evangelists, a dangerously thirsty Australian bartender, and a vicious urban gang who suddenly has unshakeable ties to Rodney. A sidewinding set of events ultimately careens Rodney and P.V.'s increasingly tumultuous marriage onto a one-way road, with a shocking twist and hair-raising end. Vivid, haunting, lyrical and equally provocative, "Wifey" is a domestic suspense thriller by attorney and former human rights arbitrator, Fey Ugokwe.
