TV One has released the trailer to its original movie, ‘Runaway Island,’<\/strong> which stars Lorraine Toussaint, Thomas Q. Jones, Aisha Hind, Erica Tazel, A. Russell Andrews,<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Tom Wright<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Directed by Dianne Houston<\/strong>, the film will premiere on Saturday, July 25 8P.M.<\/p>\n

RUNAWAY ISLAND<\/strong>\u00a0is a story about a group of troubled people finding refuge at Isle du Soleil, a secluded 1700s Gullah Sea Island resort run by a unique interracial couple, Lara Cook-Nordholm (Hinds<\/strong>) and Erick Nordholm (Branton Box<\/strong>,\u00a0The Purge: Anarchy<\/em>).\u00a0 The couple\u2019s slow-paced, holistic lifestyle forces the island\u2019s visitors to examine the strengths and weaknesses of their relationships, along with their own insecurities, while taking stock of their lives and renewing their love for one another.<\/p>\n

The island\u2019s guests include an affluent Capitol Hill grandmother and new widow, Naomi Holloway, portrayed by\u00a0Toussaint<\/strong>, and her wayward grandson, Evan Holloway (Leon Thomas<\/strong>); a successful pastor and his first lady wife, Reverend Clinton and Vonda Hines, who recently lost their daughter to leukemia, played by\u00a0A. Russell Andrews<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Erica Tazel<\/strong>; and\u00a0 media socialite\u00a0 Kira Geoffries (Melanie Liburd<\/strong>) whose engagement to NFL star Raphael Burrows (Jones<\/strong>) threatens her well-cultivated bad girl image.<\/p>\n
