Ron Perlman and Teri Polo to star in Lies We Follow

Ron Perlman will be seen as Beau, a charismatic doctor who is at the helm of an isolated retreat that promises a cure for the incurable and a new world, according to Deadline. Jamie, a frustrated and desperate mother whose dying daughter has been failed by conventional medicine, follows Beau to his remote compound. However, the deeper she delves into the community, the harder it becomes to distinguish between healing and manipulation.

Teri Polo stars alongside Ron Perlman as Margaret, his lieutenant in the cult-like operation, who also shares a connection to Jamie’s plight. The film will explore themes of desperation, faith, and manipulation, as Jamie struggles to tell apart genuine salvation from dangerous coercion.
