"The Wrong Cousin" tells the story of a married couple James & Jody. James found himself in a situation where he was forced to deal with the incredible shock of discovering that his wife was a sex addict and that she and one of her lovers were involved in a plot to kill him! James found out that his marriage was riddled with deep dark secrets, sex addiction, lies, deceit, setup and attempted murder. It became apparent that even as the usually unflappable James started to lose courage, he continued to look for answers and peace but could find not even a glimmer of light. James felt like someone had reached in with a steel claw and pulled out his soul; Meanwhile, Jody continued happily in her double life of denial, unwilling to accept responsibility for her actions... ignoring the web of lies and smiling as if she expected her marriage would be saved by a magic pill. This story shows how James coped with the pain and how he overcomes the overwhelming urge to kill Jody. James was seeking comfort wherever and whenever, often ending up giving in to his sexual desires with female friends who were always inviting him over or offering comfort and consolation. At the same time, Jody was using every trick in the book to mislead and cover up her plans.... including the church and Facebook. All hell starting to break lose when Jody, for some reason, believed that James was on to her and decided to turn to one of her lovers to help her to figure things out. The man ended up wanting James removed from the picture so he could manipulate Jody and take over the marital home. As karma would have it, Jody and the man were in over their heads and crashed without James even having to lift a finger. They knew James was a video genius, and in their minds, they felt that they could never pull off this killing and not get got caught on video. James use to think that God made him a video genius for money and glamour but now discovered that God had given him those skills to save his life.
