When you have the perfect life, it's hard to imagine that one lie can take it all away.
Alexander Burke and his wife Olivia are happy. Middle-class and middle-aged, they have everything they ever wanted. A nice house in London and a beautiful teenage daughter. That's until Alexander makes a decision with catastrophic consequences.
That was ten years ago.
Now Alexander lives unhappily alone and hasn't seen his daughter since The Incident. One morning, on his way to work, Alexander saves a woman's life. Perhaps redemption is possible after all. But then again... maybe not.
Written in two time periods ten years apart, One Lie is a drama about the choices we make, the secrets we keep hidden, and how one decision can destroy everything we hold dear.
