EVERYBODY KNOWS THE STORY. NOBODY KNOWS THE TRUTH…

Lucy Golden is a true crime icon, infamous for killing someone as a teenager while escaping a California cult led by her father.

Twenty years later, still coasting on the original success of the memoir she wrote after her acquittal, Lucy knows that her story is always just one news cycle away from obscurity, even as online trolls ask questions that threaten to tear her life apart.

So when a hot-shot documentary filmmaker decides to make her case his next subject, Lucy sees a chance to silence her doubters once and for all.

But just how far will Lucy go to protect the story she’s been telling – and selling – all along?
