Addicted (2014 film)

Plot

On the outside Zoe Reynard seems to have the perfect life. She has a perfect marriage to her husband Jason and the couple share two kids. Despite this, Zoe is not happy in her marriage. Zoe has an addiction to sex, leading her to often seek further sexual pleasures outside of her marital bed. While attending an art show, Zoe runs into the artist of the show, Quinton Canosa, and the two quickly share some flirtation. Later, after wanting to sign Quinton to her company, Zoe goes over to his apartment and the two have sex. The couple break up regularly but always inevitably end up getting back together. On one particular occasion, when Zoe goes to get back with Quinton, she finds him having sex with his next door neighbor. Zoe throughout the story is telling this as a flashback or retelling to her therapist, who is treating her for a sex addiction. Later it is discovered that the root of Zoes addiction was a rape committed against her earlier in her life. Zoes addiction begins to take over her life and she soon begins to sleep with another man, Corey, whom she met at a club. Zoe eventually decides that she wants to try to fix her marriage with her husband and invites both Corey and Quinton to meet her at Quintons apartment. Saying she does not want to say it twice, she breaks up with the two and through this they realize that she has been sleeping with both of them. Quinton becomes very angry and pushes Corey to the ground after he lunges at Zoe. After Corey is knocked out, Quinton tells Zoe that she is not going to leave him and begins to walk towards her. In fright, Zoe shoves a glass artwork between them, smashing it to pieces. Quinton walks straight over them, pulling bits of glass out of his feet. While hiding from Quinton who is chasing after her with a palette knife, Jason suddenly appears and smashes an artwork in the shape of a heart over Quentins head and saves Zoe before leaving. Zoe chases after Jason, apologizing profusely but he rejects her, asking her why she would throw it all away. Jason and Zoe split up and Jason stays in a hotel. Zoe becomes a recluse but soon goes to a group therapy session. At the session she speaks of her deep love for her husband and Jason walks into the session.
