'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.

However, her marital bliss is short-lived as she soon experiences her husband's controlling side and the three wives seek solace in each other's company.

When one of the wives disappears mysteriously, Chloe fears that she might be next.

With a runtime of two hours, the film explores the themes of love, polygamy, control, and fear. The creators of the film have not yet disclosed the real story that inspired them.
