Adam (Jessie T Usher) and Katie (Camila Mendes) are a young married couple and are struggling to pay their bills. Katie is working as a caregiver for an old man named Leonard. When Leonard passes away he leaves everything he has to the couple, this is where their troubles begin.
Leonard becomes fond of Katie and she lets slip about the financial problems she is having. Instead of taking the money Leonard offers, Katie asks him if he has a job for Adam. Leonard hires Adam as a gardener since his last gardener disappeared. At the same time an estate agent called Hayden appears and wants to buy the house which Katie says is not for sale.
Leonard writes a check to Katie for $7,000, she doesn’t want to deposit it but Adam convinces her that they can pay off their bills and then give Leonard the extra money back. She agrees, but the next day they find out that Leonard has passed away.
At Leonard’s funeral his attorney, Julia, tells them that Leonard has left everything to the couple. Katie is sceptic but Adam is loving the new found wealth.
After the couple move into the house, Hayden appears again and it is soon made clear that he is stalking the couple. The detective who is investigating Leonard’s death becomes suspicious of Adam and his involvement in the robbery that took place earlier at a diner.
One day Katie finds the body of Leonard’s old gardener Ethan in the living space above the garage, and then finds out that Ethan was actually working with Hayden who is a diamond thief and was recently released from prison. Ethan had been shot and ran to Leonard’s house but died. When released Hayden knew the diamonds were in the house and wanted to find them.
Katie and Adam decide it is time to leave and as they get ready Katie calls Julia but they are intercepted by Hayden who arrives at the house. In a struggle both Hayden and Adam are shot. Does Katie manage to escape?
Dangerous Lies is a brilliant film if you are looking for something different. It isn’t made with a huge budget or massive sets but it does the job of providing an interesting storyline with enough twists to keep you going.
