TV show description:
Based on the Dutch drama series Overspel, this dramatic series revolves around a beautiful photographer who begins an affair with the lawyer for a powerful family.
Following a chance meeting between professional photographer Sara Hanley (Hannah Ware) and top attorney Jack McAllister (Stuart Townsend), the two discover they have an instant and undeniable attraction. Unfortunately, they’re both already married. Sara and Jack realize something is missing in their marriages, and fight against the realization that they’ve met their soulmates in one another.
Sara is married to Drew Stafford (Chris Johnson), a successful prosecutor with political aspirations, and they have a seven-year-old son, Oliver, together.
Unbeknownst to Sara, Jack is the in-house counsel to a powerful and shady entrepreneur, Thatcher Karsten (James Cromwell). Jack is married to Thatcher’s daughter, Elaine (Wendy Moniz). She’s is a smart and determined woman who’s trying to make her Chicago café a success on her own terms — while still being a good mother to their 16-year-old twins, Valerie (Elizabeth McLaughlin) and Victor (Braeden Lemasters).
As Sara and Jack struggle with their feelings and their guilt, Thatcher’s brother-in-law is murdered, and all evidence points to Thatcher’s mentally-challenged son, T.J. Karsten (Henry Thomas).
Things become even more complicated when Sara’s husband becomes the prosecuting attorney in the high-profile murder case, a case that could secure his political future. Jack will be the lawyer for the defense.
The lovers quickly find themselves in an impossible situation -– on opposite sides of a murder investigation.

I love this show but the way the season ended I don’t think they mean to cancel the series. to be honest one of the main actors Thatcher committed suicide and another one went to California (he can be brought back I guess) but Thatcher can’t. I really don’t know where & for how long else they can take this.

Advertisers were reaching 3 generations in our house – If they Cancel we are forced to go to cable stations to see any shows of quality. It is a great show for that Time Slot. VERY DISAPPOINTED to hear that they are cancelling.
Football is over. I’m in withdrawal. And no more Betrayal. This can’t be.
