The halcyon days of childhood summers spent on her family’s private island are drawn to an abrupt and catastrophic end for Cadence Sinclair Eastman but she’s not sure why.
The eldest grandchild of the wealthy Sinclair family, her story unfolds in the new Prime Video series We Were Liars.
Based on the bestselling young adult novel by E. Lockhart, it is a psychological thriller which recounts how hazy summer days at the retreat turn into a nightmare from which she cannot escape.
Vernon Saunders, Amazon and MGM Studios head of television, said: “E. Lockhart’s We Were Liars is a gripping story centered on family, love, secrets, and lies that is perfect for our Prime Video audience.”
