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.
Episode #13 — “…A Better Place”
In the aftermath of Sara’s shooting, the two families are forced to confront decisions they’ve made, as well as look to the future.
First aired: January 19, 2014.

My favorite show. Hope it isn’t cancelled.
I love this show and would hate to see it cancelled. James Cromwell plays evil so very well !
Please do not cancel Betrayal! The drama is awesome and the characters are freakin unbelievable!!!!
I love this show, please don’t cancel it. The intensity to this drama continues to draw you in. And there’s already nothing good on Sunday nights.

I love this show!!! Please don’t cancel it!!!
Please DO NOT CANCEL betrayal…….my husband and I both enjoyed it a lot and will be so disappointed in the network if they let it go.
Please keep this show!!! It is one of the best on TV, change up some of the old stuff that is just plain stupid!
I’ve enjoyed this show from the beginning, looked forward to each episode. I know it’s not possible; although this IS television, James Cromwell needs to come back! He was incredibly the best on the show! Evil with an undeniable love for family; he was perfect!
Is that true this show will come back may 2014?
There is no way Betrayal will be renewed. It’s not coming back. Sorry.
It is always disappointing to me when a quality television show is canceled when there is so much garbage that is renewed. The writing and acting were superb on Betrayal. I couldn’t wait until the next episode. What a missed opportunity for this network. Shame!
I love this show! If Ican’t watch it on Sundays, I DVR it and watch it at a later time. I don’t think that it was advertised enough. It’s terrrible that such an interesting drama is in danger of being cancelled.
Love this show. I have just been waiting for new shows. Watch the old ones over and over.
DO NOT CANCEL!!!! EXCELLENT SHOW
Please do not cancel this show. Very entertaining!!!
Please do not cancel this show. It is pure entertainment. Love it!
My wife and I watched every episode and think the writing and acting was brilliant. We would like to see more.
I love watching Betrayal and hope it is renewed for many more seasons!
