Plot
A man is out to kill a person he swore on his best friend's death bed to protect. Chris Jensen (Jack Brockett) is torn between his allegiance to his fallen friend, Tyler Townsend (Addison Graham), who died in Afghanistan and Tyler's half sister who hires Chris to kill her late brother's gay lover. The lover, Andrew Warner (Sean Paul Lockhart), stands to inherit half of the family's multi-million dollar company left to him by Tyler. Tyler's half sister Jackie Townsend (Laura Reilly) has other plans for the young and unassuming Andrew. All goes to plan even though Chris has fallen in love with the young Andrew. Andrew grows suspicious, the plan is revealed and it's every man and woman for themselves. A fortune will go to the last one standing.

Reception
Michael D. Klemm of CinemaQueer said, "Triple Crossed is a low budget, yet somewhat nifty, sexual thriller. Its concept is good, and it’s a lot of fun as long as you don’t take it too seriously".[1] David Hall of Gay Celluloid gave three stars and said, "Filled with some passionate scenes of man-on-man lip-service and more, backed by the vibrant music of Chad Siwik and filmed, in part, in the lush location of Topanga Canyon, California, this feature frankly ticks many of the requisite boxes on the "festival favourites" checklist".[2] Tim Isaac of Big Gay Picture Show commented: "Triple Crossed may have its flaws, but it’s an entertaining thriller with a cute gay romance at its core."[3] Amos Lassen of ReviewsbyAmosLassen wrote "Quite naturally there is a lot of tension but even more important is that the film presents the viewer with gay characters who fight for what they believe in".[4]
