Here is Stu's updated Synopsis of Keep Your Distance:

EVERYONE YOU TRUST HAS THE POWER TO BETRAY YOU **Tagline**

In the perfectly normal town of Louisville, KY, there is a perfectly normal man living the perfect life. GIL BELLOWS stars as David Dailey–a man who has it all: A great career, a community that loves him, and an enduring marriage. But beneath the surface, David’s idyllic world is crumbling. He’s haunted by a series of mysterious notes that warn of an imminent fall from grace. His sultry wife Susan (KIM RAVER) is hell-bent on expanding the horizons of their sex life–with or without him. His longtime assistant Whit (JAMIE HARROLD) is gunning for his job. And he finds himself increasingly attracted to Melody Carpenter (JENNIFER WESTFELDT), a curious stranger he instinctively trusts because he assumes she doesn’t know him well enough to betray him.

Complicating matters, Melody’s jilted boyfriend Sean (CHRISTIAN KANE), a charming and talented trust fund baby, regards David and Melody’s fledging friendship with contempt. As his jealousy seethes deeper, he concocts a devious plan to win her back, unaware his overly protective father (STACY KEACH) has ordered his number one ally (ELIZABETH PEÑA) to keep an eye on everyone involved.

As David and Melody grow closer, they discover they have much in common–including the maddening suspicion they’re each being stalked–and are plunged into a harrowing web of desire, deceit, and paranoia. Suddenly, the man everyone loves fears everyone has a reason to bring him down. As his perfect life veers further and further off course, David is about learn that the biggest danger of having it all is having everything to lose.

So this wasn't a national release? I live in Louisville, and it's in our big theatres. It was a great movie and I assumed it was national, but it seems it's not, eh?
