One-Line Verdict

“Lies pull two people into a vortex of truth and misunderstanding, trust and suspicion.”

Overview

A psychological thriller drama in which a man and a woman, holding diametrically opposed accounts of the same memory, clash intensely in their pursuit of the truth.

The story begins after a man and a woman, having enjoyed a perfect night following an exciting first date, provide completely contradictory accounts when questioned at the police station the next day.

With one of them inevitably lying—and in the absence of witnesses or clear physical evidence—an intense psychological battle and a fierce confrontation unfold as the truth is sought.
