The TV One thriller, Safe Room, centers on recently widowed Lila Jackson (Nicole Ari Parker) and her 14-year-old autistic son, Ian (Nik Sanchez). Since the death of her husband, Lila is grateful for her kind neighbor, Neil (Boris Kodjoe), who looks out for them. After Ian accidentally witnesses a break-in across the street, recording the horrific murder of the homeowner, Lila becomes embroiled in a deadly struggle to protect her son. Dominic (Mackenzie Astin) and Rocco (Drea De Matteo) will stop at nothing to retrieve the video evidence of the crime and silence them. Trapped in a makeshift panic room created by her late husband, Lila and Ian must use all their strength and intelligence to outsmart the intruders and save themselves.
Safe Room is produced by Astute Films. Executive producers include Dominique Telson and Karen Kaufman Wilson. Boris Kodjoe directs from a script by Nneka Gerstle.
