Deceiver

“There are two sides to every lie.”

James Wayland (Tim Roth) is an epileptic heir to a textile fortune, brilliant and self-destructive, and he was one of the last clients of a prostitute found dead. Detectives Braxton (Chris Penn) and Kennesaw (Michael Rooker) bring him in, sure they can break him in a single interrogation. The Pate brothers keep the room small and the questions circling, and what grows between Wayland and Kennesaw is a hold each has on the other.
