Synopsis: | WALLBROTHAS" is a dark, gritty, Shakespearian-psychological-drama that deals with a struggle for power and money surrounding three close friends who have bonded and grown up together from a young age after one of the friend's non identical twin brother, disappears. Now as adults, their business as escorts is starting to come off the ground, but when Lyfe, a trusted friend, sister and wife is mysteriously murdered by a serial killer that targets sex workers, their friendship begins to fall apart as they believe one of them knows or has a part of Lyfe's murder. In the midst of all this, their fight to be successful in this business attracts the attention of two rival-strongholds, who want to take over the city using money. They begin controlling everything the 'Brothers' do, say and even think, thus dividing them and playing them off each other like pawns on a chess board. | |||||
