description: Jayson Abrahms is tired of dating, tired of the games involved, and wants nothing more than to settle down. Thankfully, in less than a week he will marry Faith Sheppard, the love of his life. But there is one minor issue -- Jayson's longtime best friend, Asha Mills. Not only is she gorgeous, but Asha and Jayson also used to be lovers. Concerned about Asha's intentions, Faith delivers an ultimatum to Jayson, forcing him to face the toughest decision of his life: Either Asha goes, or there will be no wedding. Jayson reluctantly sets out to end the friendship but cannot bring himself to do it. When he lies to Faith and tells her Asha is out of the picture, he never expects Faith to learn his secret, but Faith bumps into Asha and, discovering the truth, decides to get even with Jayson for his betrayal. Meanwhile, Jayson still believes that things are as they should be and, a few days before the wedding, sets out to meet Faith at a hotel room where a surprise party is promised for her. Hoping to surprise his fiancée with a gift of roses when he walks into the room, Jayson instead receives a horrible shock. When a videotape of that night's painful events surfaces, Jayson finally starts to unravel the web of lies that has been cast around him. Because it is not just Faith who has been harboring secrets from him; Asha is also turning out to be a very different woman from the one he fell in love with years ago. Never turning away from the harshness of reality, Love Frustration candidly confronts what happens when people have what they don't want and love what they can't have.
