Congratulations VIII — Darrin Lowery

Wendy Devereaux and Damien Martin are friends. They've known each other almost six years, and neither is happy in their marriage. Their spouses, Katrina Martin and Phillip Devereaux work too hard. They are too busy laying a financial foundation for the future; so much so, that they are neglecting their spouses at home. Because they are friends, Wendy suggests that she and Damien lean on one another for support. The question is can men and women that are friends spend time with one another and nothing develops between them?

Phil is engrossed in his work and no woman has ever understood him. That is, until a mysterious and attractive temp named Yolanda enters his life. Not only does Yolanda understand his work ethic, she also has a few ideas on how to offer Phil stress relief.

Katrina also feels misunderstood by her husband. Men at her firm hit on her all the time. There is one man in particular named Kevin that has been flirting since day one. Although she likes the attention, Katrina makes it clear that she is married. Everyone has issues in their marriage at one time or another, but it's when secrets are kept that marriages fall apart. Someone will be left heartbroken while the other will be offered Congratulations.
