Sydney Pierce has just met the guy of her dreams...just don't tell her psycho boyfriend, Trevor. 

With a gorgeous boyfriend, a thriving gymnastics career and a stellar academic record, anyone would assume that Sydney has it all. That's precisely what the seventeen-year-old perfectionist wants you to believe, and she works hard to keep up the pretense. Especially now that there are cameras following her for a documentary on Olympic hopefuls. 

When Grant, the charming new student, disrupts her carefully crafted routine, the cracks beneath her perfect façade begin to rise to the surface and despite Trevor's objections to their friendship, she can't stay away from him. 

As her connection to Grant pulls her closer to him, the once lighthearted relationship with Trevor takes an intense and dark turn, forcing her into a position in which not only her happiness, but her safety is at stake. Can Sydney learn to let go of everything she is clinging to in order to gain everything she has ever wanted, or will she realize her breaking point too late?

40 parts Complete Mature
Davina Reed is your typical high school teen that doesn't take shit from anyone and who is just the norm of everyone that goes to her school. But there's one thing--or more like someone that ticks her off the most and it's Zachary Kalinski. She hates Zachary with everything she has all because of what happened during the 7th grade. Zachary Kalinski is of course the 'bad boy' of Evergreen High along with 3 of his best friends. He's a big major player, a Greek God--which Davina hates about him the most--and a condescending rude asshole. There's so much more to him than just a 'handsome, Greek God'. He has a dark past that no one knows about except the friends he's always with. But when Davina and Zachary get paired off together not once but twice for a school project, they can't help but somehow find themselves getting along and making amends. Unfortunately, that's not all to it. Something very tragic happens to Davina and after Zachary helps her, she makes it her possible mission--as returning the favor--to help Zachary out when she finally knows the uncovered truth about him and his past. But we all know things aren't going to end so well, so, they think of the smartest thing they could think of: and that's by helping each other...even if that means that one of them doesn't get to live.

Kayla's life seems perfect on the outside-she's a 23-year-old college student with big dreams, a tight circle of friends, and two protective older brothers. She's always been independent, handling her own business and staying focused on her goals. But when she meets Devin, a smooth-talking guy who seems to have it all together, everything starts to change. At first, Devin is everything Kayla could want-charming, attentive, and always making her feel special. But as their relationship deepens, his true colors begin to show. Devin's charm turns to control, and his love turns into something darker. Trapped in an abusive relationship that no one knows about, Kayla finds herself isolated, scared, and unsure of how to escape. With her best friend Lena starting to notice the changes in her, and her brothers Isaiah and Jordan growing suspicious, Kayla struggles to keep her secret while searching for a way out. But leaving Devin isn't as simple as it seems. The deeper she falls into his manipulation, the harder it becomes to break free. In this short, gripping urban drama, Kayla's strength is tested as she fights to reclaim her life and rediscover her voice. Set against the backdrop of city life, "Behind Closed Doors" is a powerful story about love, control, and survival, written in raw, unfiltered Ebonics that captures the realities of living in the streets.
