The movie "N-Secure" is a story of jealousy, betrayal and murder with the city of Memphis used as the backdrop.

Now the film, which was released in theatres nationwide last October, is currently available on DVD and Blu-ray.

The movie stars Essence Atkins, Tempestt Bledsoe and Lamman Rucker. It was created by Memphian Julius Lewis.

Lewis served as the executive producer of the film and had worked on the project for years before its release.

The movie which has an "R" rating has gotten an overall positive response from the public, especially here in the Bluff City. Copies of the film have been selling well at area Best Buy, Target and Walmart stores.
