Deceit

In 1992, a young mother is brutally murdered in front of her two-year-old son in London. The police investigation that follows is one of the most controversial and toxic in recent history. A female undercover officer, known only by her codename "Lizzie James," is tasked with becoming the sexual lure for the suspected killer. As she delves deeper into the case, Lizzie finds herself trapped in a dangerous game of cat and mouse, where the lines between right and wrong become increasingly blurred. Based on a true story, Deceit explores the dark corners of human nature and the lengths to which people will go to solve a crime.
