Set against the vibrant backdrop of Kingston, Jamaica, 'Splinter' revolve around Marcus and Nadine; a couple whose marriage is on the edge, teetering between love and disaster. Marcus, a smooth-talking businessman, is caught up in a steamy affair, juggling his secret life while trying to play the perfect husband and father at home. Nadine, his loyal wife, feels something is off-Marcus isn't the same, but she can't put her finger on why. Pretty soon, there's a rift between them. As the tension rises, Nadine starts digging, and the truth threatens to blow up in their faces. She's left questioning everything: Does Marcus really love her, or is she just another piece in his game? Their once-perfect love is now a ticking time bomb, with lies, betrayal, and heartbreak; tension ready to explode at any moment. This story dives into the wild rollercoaster of love, lust, and the mess we make when we let desire take the wheel. It's a raw, relatable tale of two people trying to hold on to a love that's slipping through their fingers, with everything to lose and no guarantees of a happy ending.
