The film is scheduled for release in the fall. "The Swirl Team continues to be a valued and integral partner to the TV One enterprise as we invest in our original film and programming pipeline," said TV One's Executive Producer Jason Ryan. "13th Step (working title) will provide our TV One viewers with another gut-wrenching thriller, expanding our unique film roster." "The 13th step" is a colloquial term for when a 12-step old-timer hits on a newcomer with less than a year of sobriety. It can be for a variety of reasons: emotional, financial, or physical. But either way, it's someone in a position of power trying to take advantage of someone weaker. In this film, it refers to a woman's life is thrown into a dangerous tailspin after ending an affair with the dangerous lover she met in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).
