Escorted
When devoted husband Max is mistaken for a mature high-end escort, he’s pulled into a seductive world of wealth and deception to pay off his debts. But when a client is found dead under suspicious circumstances, Max’s web of lies begins to unravel—putting his marriage, friendships, and very survival at risk as his life spirals out of control.
Max Taylor, a respectable 55-year-old husband and father, is struggling to keep his beloved shoe shop afloat as mounting debts and the threat of bankruptcy loom over him. When he is mistaken for a mature high-end escort by a successful solicitor, Chrissie, he makes the rash decision to be her companion for the evening and pocket the cash. After the ‘date,’ Max feels immeasurable guilt, but when Chrissie's best friend, Donna, tracks him down to book him for an evening event, he sees a short-term opportunity to save his business and family.
Initially hesitant and uncomfortable in his new role, Max manages to keep his secret life hidden from his wife, Hannah, the local community, and his best friend, Chub, a respected but permanently suspicious detective. As Max begins to enjoy the trappings of his clandestine life, he travels further afield, the lies becoming more elaborate to cover his absences from home.
Max agrees to a booking with regular client Chrissie in London, but when she is found dead in a luxurious hotel under suspicious circumstances, Max panics, fearing exposure, and embarks on a game of cat and mouse as he scrambles to cover up his involvement with her and his secret life.
As Max’s lies grow more tangled, tensions rise between him and Chub, whose suspicious instincts as a detective raise questions about Max’s increasingly erratic behaviour. Donna also wants answers, threatening to expose him unless he tells her the truth about what happened to her best friend, while Hannah realises something is very wrong but refuses to believe her husband could do anything to threaten their secure, loving marriage.
Caught between the deep love for his wife and the need to protect his secret, Max tries to navigate through a maze of deceit and deception, all while trying to maintain a semblance of normal life. With each twist and turn, the dangers begin to rise, leading to a gripping climax where Max’s fate and everything he holds dear hang in the balance.
