Description
CAST LISTING - Ryan Phillippe, Juliette Lewis, KaDee Strickland, Natalie Martinez, Clifton Collins, Indiana Evans, Belle Shouse
CREDITS LISTING - PRODUCTION COMPANY: ABC Studios; WRITER: Barbie Kligman, EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS: Barbie Kligman, Aaron Kaplan, Tracey Robertson, Nathan Mayfield
Ben Garner (Ryan Phillippe) sets out on his early morning run through the woods. He normally runs every other day, but today is different. He’s hung over from drinking the night before. He’s stressed from his growing marital troubles. He’s devastated because his wife has asked for a divorce. Then he finds his neighbor’s young son lying on the trail. He tries to resuscitate him, but it is too late.
The city of Charlotte, North Carolina is frantic at the news of this young boy’s death. Detective Andrea Cornell (Juliette Lewis) is assigned to investigate the murder. She is a tough, thorough investigator, and leaves no stone unturned.
As she digs for the truth, all of the SECRETS & LIES that the community managed to hide for so long come to the surface. Accusations fly. Alliances are tested. Trust is gone. And soon, Ben is caught in the middle as the police, the press, and the world invade his untouched suburbia.
Ben goes from Good Samaritan to murder suspect, as Detective Cornell searches his home, poke holes in his story, and demands a DNA sample. Reporters hound him and surround the house putting more stress on his failing marriage. The neighbors begin to look at him like he is the killer, while his teenaged daughter is harassed online. Only a few people have his back, like his youngest daughter Abby, or his best friend Dave, who freeloads in Ben’s guest house.
Ben’s life will be turned upside down as he sets out on a complicated journey to prove his innocence in this thriller mystery. Yet the harder he fights for his innocence, the more the audience will wonder… did he really do it?
From Barbie Kligman (Private Practice) based on the original Australian series of the same name.

Secrets and Lies looks interesting!
ReplyDeleteUgh doesn't interest me
ReplyDeleteI get the feeling that if Secrets & Lies didn't come with a series penalty ABC wouldn't have picked it up.
ReplyDeleteAnd it would mean better chances for Sea of Fire or Warriors.
ReplyDeleteI guess this will air after OUAT on the fall, with Resurrection returning on winter/spring.
ReplyDeleteI was more interested in Agatha and Clementine.
ReplyDeleteThey ordered The Club with 10 episodes and apparently they are reexamining that one too.
ReplyDeleteI watched the Australian version and it turned out better than I expected. The last 20 minutes were pretty mind blowing in my opinion, so I'll check it out.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I read that too. It seems like a case of buyers remorse.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't interested in Agatha, but Clementine sounded good.
ReplyDeleteI hope they chose not to air it, it sound awful. At least this one sounds decent.
ReplyDeleteHappy for this! I miss KaDee Strickland on tv :)
ReplyDeleteWell now we know Natalie dies in Under The Dome..
ReplyDeleteHopefully this means Natalie gets killed off on UtD
ReplyDeleteHa! Glad I'm not the only one more interested in that tidbit than the show itself.
ReplyDeleteSo was I and they pass on both shows this show sounds boring
ReplyDeleteYes! So glad KaDee Strickland will be back on my TV.
ReplyDeleteLooks very interesting, and I like Juliette Lewis and KaDee Stickland!
