A compelling, sinister narrative of lust, manipulation and betrayal, the central character in The Deceived is English student Ophelia (Emily Reid – Belgravia, Curfew), who falls in love with her married lecturer, seeing in him all the answers to her needs. When their affair is interrupted by a shocking and tragic death, Ophelia finds herself trapped in a world where she can no longer trust her own mind.
As the truth about Roisin finally breaks through the web of lies that has been spun between Cambridge and Ireland, Ophelia tries desperately to escape, while the architects of this manipulation attempt to cover their tracks.
With Ophelia trapped and cornered in the house at Knockdara, she must finally find the courage to face up to those who have sought to destroy her.
