Lifetime Movie Network brings us “The Lies We Bury,” a thriller that takes the classic wrongful conviction narrative and injects it with a dose of murder and corruption. The story follows a young, ambitious lawyer taking on a 25-year-old case she believes resulted in an innocent person being sent to prison. However, her pursuit of justice quickly transforms into a descent into a dangerous underworld where powerful figures will do anything to keep the truth buried.
As the lawyer digs deeper, she uncovers a conspiracy that goes far beyond a simple wrongful conviction. This isn’t just about righting a past wrong; it’s about survival. “The Lies We Bury” stars Kyla Nova as the determined lawyer, alongside Doug Noble, Brian Childers, Lindsay Hartley, and genre veteran Dee Wallace.
Lifetime movies are known for their blend of melodrama and suspense, and “The Lies We Bury” looks to deliver on both fronts. The film sets up a classic David-versus-Goliath struggle, with our protagonist facing off against formidable opponents willing to resort to extreme measures to protect their secrets.
“The Lies We Bury” premieres Friday, January 17, 2025, at 8:00 PM on Lifetime Movie Network.
