TV One offers romance, laughter and inspiration with the premiere of its new original movie Stock Option on Saturday, Nov. 7 at 8 p.m. ET.

Spears (Being Mary Jane, The Bold and The Beautiful).

Stock Option centers around a homeless former stock broker (Amin Joseph) who takes refuge in front of a modeling studio where he meets a beautiful young print model (Antonique Smith). After rescuing her from an attempted attack, she offers him a helping hand to get him back on his feet. When sparks begin to fly, both have to learn to let go of the past in order to create a better future.
