Jada Pinkett Smith will write and direct The Human Contract, according to FilmJerk. Will Smith and his producing partner James Lassiter will produce through their Overbrook Entertainment.

The film centers on Julian Wright, a charming and mega-successful businessman who hides a secret from the rest of the world which tears his soul apart every day. With his personal life in shambles, Julian will find himself willing to travel down the rabbit hole, as it were, when he meets Michael Reed, a gorgeous stranger who entices Julian to forget his rigid corporate world and try a more bohemian lifestyle, a decision that will not only affect his own life but those of his boss and co-workers, as well as inspire his half-sister Rita to re-examine her life with her abusive husband.

Shooting starts in Los Angeles on November 12.
