In 19th-century Ireland, following the sudden death of her father, 18-year-old Maud (Agnes O’Casey) finds herself the vulnerable heiress to the imposing Knowl estate. Her life takes a dark turn when her estranged and callous Uncle Silas (David Wilmot) becomes her guardian, seething at being denied his inheritance.

Trapped in a society designed to control women, Maud becomes a pawn in Silas' manipulative schemes as he plots to marry her off for his own gain. With long-buried family secrets beginning to surface, Maud must survive a treacherous web of deceit to reclaim her independence.

An revelatory reworking of Sheridan Le Fanu’s 1864 novel, Lies We Tell is a chilling Gothic thriller, filled with suspense, hidden motives, and a young woman's defiant fight for her future against a dark and oppressive legacy.
