Series created by Ashley Denise and Ricki Lynée of Nuanse Entertainment.

A suspenseful series about schemes that unfold amongst a group of black women after a damning secret is revealed during an artist retreat. “The Retreat” was devised to highlight black women in front of and behind the camera. This series was staffed with an all black women cast and crew.

During a vulnerable moment at an all black women's artist retreat, guest speaker Cynthia Chadwick reveals a dangerous secret about her past to a small group of women. The next morning, Cynthia has disappeared and her unlucky confidants, Pamela, Dana, and Bea are each given a wad of hundreds in exchange for signing a non-disclosure agreement that forbids any mention of Cynthia's presence at the retreat.

The series picks up one year later, as Pamela's soon-to-be-published book of memoirs threatens to expose what happened at the retreat. As scandalous rumors about Cynthia begin to circulate in the news and on social media, it's every woman for herself in the struggle to survive. With tensions at an all-time high, alliances are formed, back-stabbing ensues, and the plot never ceases to thicken.
