Lie Detector

A psychological thriller set in a world of hate crime, international espionage and extreme rock climbing, "Lie Detector" tells the story of David Wellman, an FBI special agent whose work in the Hate Crime Unit is suddenly disrupted by a near-fatal car accident. When his injuries and complex recovery give rise to a unique, innate ability to detect deception, David's resulting paranoia devastates his family and jeopardizes his work as an agent. This epic, personal journey underscores themes of love and redemption, and takes David from the confusing world of his aphasia-stricken mind to the terrifying vertical walls of El Capitan in Yosemite Valley. —Scott Forslund
