Staying in Lane "Season 2"
How far would you go to hide your most painful secrets? What happens when you risk everything for love?” Staying In Lane” is an anthology stories that chronicle the hyper drama of falling in and out of love. In an attempt to live the dream, we all fall victim to limitations and dysfunction, whether ours or the object of our affection.
In Season 2, we shed light on ANGELICA COLMAN, a beautiful success driven 27-year-old African American Educator. She’s very devoted to her students, but that devotion comes at a price. As Angelica stumbles through her career, desperate to reshape standards while oblivious to a past that she’s destined to repeat. She comes to the realization there’s definitely something wrong with her perception of love and relationships, but with goals to be reached this is not her primary focus. That is until fate steps in and delivers a love like she’s never known before in the captivating 31-year-old MATTHEW TAYLOR. He’s the charismatic Caucasian Teacher at the school, who despite his conflicting feelings to keep their love a secret is also her greatest supporter. Matthew’s reckless affection is teaching Angelica lessons she has yet to learn.
For Matthew, race has never been an issue and the more she pushes away the closer he comes. This leaves Angelica torn between getting lost in love completely or satisfying her overbearing mother, CASSANDRA COLMAN, A 60-year-old aloof well respected Principal who’s embedded the pursuit of success over anything in her daughter. Poised at the helm of their high school, her bitter regard towards the frivolity of love and rigidly guiding her daughter’s success may cause her to push things too far. Will love and secrets destroy this family? Watch Staying In Lane to see just how far, some will go for the ones they love!!
