Eliza Dushku plays the other woman ... but it's not as fun and sexy as you might think.

The "Dollhouse" star tells MTV's Hollywood Crush that "Valediction" is a psychological thriller about a married man (Ben Barnes) who must deal with his daughter's injury after a car accident and his affair with co-worker Renee (Dushku). Serious stuff. Just as in "Dollhouse," there's more than meets the eye with this story.

Check out more details on Dushku's "Valediction," also starring Brenda Fricker, Johnny Whitworth and Dennis Haysbert.
