Meet the Cast of 'The Deadly Getaway'
BET+'s original movie, "The Deadly Getaway," premieres this weekend. "The Deadly Getaway" begins with a chaotic home invasion gone wrong, resulting in a man's death. The story then shifts to Hope and Jacob, a couple seeking to escape their monotonous routine with a spontaneous trip to Wolf Creek—where Jacob plans a surprise proposal. Upon arrival, their expectation of a secluded retreat is shattered when Hope's ex, Derrick, shows up with his new girlfriend, Jada. Tensions quickly mount.
