As well as writing and producing, Katrina stars alongside Yellowjackets actor Warren Kole in the film, which is directed by her husband.
The story follows a mysterious woman who breaks into the house of a best-selling self-help author and forces him to face scars that he thought had long been healed.

"After a long day of talk shows, book signings, and motivational speaking, he returns home to his mansion and passes out, only to be startled awake by what initially appears to be an obsessed fan holding him at gunpoint, demanding the truth about his shameful past, and forcing him into a painful reckoning that will either kill him or be his salvation."
Katrina's achievement comes as production on season 21 of NCIS remains on hold due to the ongoing strike.

When will season 21 of NCIS be released?
While new seasons of NCIS usually arrive on our screens in the fall, it's likely that new episodes won't premiere until 2024.
Filming for the new episodes will commence once the strike has ended, which industry insiders have predicted will take place in the fall.

The cast of NCIS have been very vocal in their support of the strike over the past few weeks. Katrina even took to Instagram to share a series of snaps of her alongside her co-stars on the picket lines in Los Angeles. She wrote in the caption: "So proud of the #NCIS actors and writers coming out in support of each other and for providing a relief to the heat by sponsoring an Ice Cream Truck."
