The Lies I Tell

Kat attends a political fundraiser for Ron Ashton as a member of the press when she spots Meg Williams, the con artist who ruined Kat’s life 10 years ago. After all these years of waiting, she attends this fundraiser knowing that Meg would eventually show up to target Ron. Kat’s fiancée, Scott, doesn’t support Kat’s pursuit of Meg, but Kat feels it’s critical that she settle the score with Meg.

At Ron Ashton’s fundraiser, Meg acts like a chameleon as she methodically eases her way into his inner circle by befriending his friends and securing them a crucial piece of real estate they didn’t bother to investigate for themselves. She planned her friendship with Monica, someone in his inner circle, and targeted her in a yoga class for six months. Once they built trust and a bond, Monica trusted Meg to help her secure a house she really wanted. Monica didn’t look into the details of the house, and Meg knew she wouldn’t, so she lied about the initial listing price, had Monica put down $200,000 more than the asking price, and told Monica she got the house for a deal.
