Will charming con man Dr Rob Chance get his comeuppance in a darkly comic new thriller?

THE FOLLOWING EVENTS ARE BASED ON A PACK OF LIES

Love, lies, trickery and toxicity are at the heart of an unpredictable new thriller about two women who band together to take down a con man.
Set in Oxford, the five-part drama follows no-nonsense personal assistant Alice Newman (Rebekah Staton), whose world is upended when she runs into the ex (Alistair Petrie) who conned her out of everything she had 15 years ago.
