'Sister Wife Murder' is directed by Manu Boyer and written by Peter Sullivan. It revolves around Chloe (played by Dia Nash) who falls in love with Pastor Caleb (Matthew Daddario) at her new church.

As they develop a strong romantic bond, Chloe discovers that Pastor is already married to two women - Anna (Ashley Williams) and Margo (Ashley Dulaney). Despite this Chloe happily accepts Caleb's proposal to be his third wife.
