Even with the country under community quarantine for the past two months, iWant produced and recently released their latest digital film Love Lockdown that was shot entirely by the actors in their respective homes. The innovative film is a collection of three inter-connected sexy thrillers featuring three groups of Kapamilya artists in what are arguably their most provocative roles to date.Love Lockdown opens with the story of an architect named Jacob (Jake Cuenca) who fools his wife Lesley (Angelica Panganiban) into thinking he is stuck out of town during quarantine when the truth is he is holed up in a love nest with his mistress, a social media influencer named Karen (Kylie Verzosa).

Lesley and Allan end up getting closer until she discovers that her mysterious neighbor has a very, very dark past.
