Starring Helen Baxendale and John Hannah, psychological action thriller Truth Or Dare is a compelling tale set in motion by a seemingly innocent college reunion.
With a messy divorce behind her, successful lawyer Lorna (Baxendale) longs for excitement in her life – something her career and her dead-end affair with a married man can’t give her.
The lure of the recklessness of student days promises a welcome escape when three college friends turn up unexpectedly. She opens her home to all of them and her heart to one in particular – the charismatic Nick (Hannah).
But these outlandish house guests and a taste for adventure soon lead Lorna into a terrifying, dangerous world.
