A chance meeting between Sara (Hannah Ware), a professional photographer, and Jack (Stuart Townsend), a top attorney, leads to an instant and undeniable attraction. Sara's husband, Drew (Chris Johnson), is a successful prosecutor with political aspirations, and the couple have a seven-year-old, Oliver. Unbeknownst to Sara, Jack is in-house counsel to a powerful but somewhat shady entrepreneur, Thatcher (James Cromwell), and is married to Thatcher's daughter, Elaine (Wendy Moniz).

As Sara and Jack struggle with their feelings and their guilt about their families, Thatcher's brother-in-law, Lou, is murdered, and all evidence points to Thatcher's mentally challenged son, T.J. (Henry Thomas). Sara discovers she's in the middle of a nightmare when she learns that Drew will be the prosecuting attorney in this high-profile murder case, which can secure his political future, and that Jack will be the lawyer for the defense. The lovers find themselves in an impossible situation – on opposite sides of a murder investigation.
BETRAYAL stars Hannah Ware (Shame, BOSS) as Sara, Henry Thomas (E.T., Gangs of New York) as T.J., Chris Johnson (THE VAMPIRE DIARIES) as Drew, Wendy Moniz (GUIDING LIGHT) as Elaine, Elizabeth McLaughlin (The Clique) as Valerie, Braeden Lemasters (MEN OF A CERTAIN AGE) as Victor, with Stuart Townsend (The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) as Jack and James Cromwell (AMERICAN HORROR STORY) as Thatcher.
BETRAYAL, based on the hit Dutch series OVERSPEL, was written by David Zabel (ER, DETROIT 1-8-7) and directed by Patty Jenkins (THE KILLING), and is executive-produced by Zabel, Lisa Zwerling, Alon Aranya and Rob Golenberg.
