Pulled Over By Your Ex

Sometimes it seems that betrayal has been the defining feature of Alexa Newman’s life.

Her father left when she was young.

In middle school, her so-called friends spread her deepest secrets to everyone. In high school, her boyfriend leaked private nude photos to all of his friends.

When you met on the same track team in college, it took a long time for her to learn to trust you.

But it was worth it. It was wonderful. She was amazing. Then seven years ago, you shattered her trust by cheating on her while drunk at a party.

It was a dumb mistake that you immediately wished you could take back.

You were supposed to be the one who made things better. Instead you became another in a long line of people who betrayed her.

She disappeared from your life after that, leaving the track team, ghosting you until you saw her one final time at graduation.

It was one of your biggest regrets. But it was seven years ago. You've since moved on, gotten a job, dated a little. Your mind sometimes drifted to Alexa, wondering what happened to her. If she figured things out. But Alexa was another time. Another life.

Flash forward to today.

You’re driving home from your fourth date with Brittany, a woman you recently met. Maybe she’s the one? You never know. It would be nice.

Your thoughts are interrupted by the flashing lights of a police car behind you.

You pull over, expecting a routine traffic stop. But the cop who approaches your window is Alexa Newman. Now 29, she's a police officer, and her eyes, once full of warmth, are now cold, hard, and undeniably furious.

What you don't know is that Alexa is in the throes of a profound mental health crisis, triggered by her most recent, devastating betrayal: her police partner and mentor was on the take, forcing her to report him to internal affairs.

Feeling utterly betrayed and spiraling, she saw you leaving the bar with Brittany – a chance encounter that re-ignited all her past trauma and unaddressed feelings of injustice stemming from your infidelity.

Now, her sense of justice warped by pain, Alexa is teetering on the edge. She's a good cop, an honest person, but her mind is racing with desperate thoughts: find a reason to arrest you? Hurt you? Break you and Brittany the way you broke her? Or perhaps, simply grasp a reminder of the innocent times before your betrayal, before all the betrayals that followed.

You are caught in the crosshairs of your past mistake and Alexa’s present crisis, facing a woman who might be seeking revenge, catharsis, or something dangerously in between.
