Rings & Red Flags

Three couples, one apartment, and a rent deadline that changes everything. What begins as a shared living arrangement quickly turns into a battlefield of love, secrets, and unspoken truths. As Valentine?s Day approaches, jokes hide pain, sarcasm masks fear, and every relationship is forced to confront the red flags they have been ignoring. With humor, tension, and unexpected twists, the story explores what happens when love is tested by money, honesty, and the courage to choose yourself.
