Lise Romanoff, CEO and Managing Director of Vision Films shares, "Cheat is a twisted love story with a forceful female lead that challenges viewers' expectations. It takes the audience on a gripping roller coaster that keeps one guessing until the final scene."

The film stars newcomer Shelby Handley (All is Fine in '89), Ry Barrett (In A Violent Nature, Cult Hero), Latin music star Rodrigo Massa (Instructions Not Included), Arthur Boan (The Gardener), Jay Wong (Bait), and Madison Caan (Charmed to Death).
