Simon e Vicky non potrebbero essere più ordinari: una coppia benestante di Chicago, lui stimato professore di legge, lei sostenitrice delle vittime di violenza domestica. Un matrimonio stabile, anche se non entusiasmante. Ma una cosa è certa... niente è come sembra. Uno dei due potrebbe essere un assassino. Quando il corpo di un’avvenente socialite viene trovato appeso in una villa di un sobborgo vicino, i segreti di Simon e Vicky iniziano a trapelare. Una relazione segreta e burrascosa. Un fondo fiduciario di venti milioni di dollari che sta per scadere. Un rancore decennale e l’ossessione della vendetta. Questi sono solo alcuni degli aspetti che compongono la fitta rete di bugie... e avranno conseguenze devastanti. E se da un lato è chiaro che Vicky e Simon sono entrambi dei bugiardi, come stabilire chi sta truffando chi?
