Lies Unmake Us

A gripping, high-stakes queer thriller about identity, secrets, and the deadly price of survival.

Growing up under the shadow of the UK's Section 28, trans teenager Charlie learned early on that her best chance of survival came from hiding. Using hacking and social engineering skills, she spent years meticulously crafting a flawless, untraceable legal identity. But a chance meeting with a stranger changes everything.

That stranger is Jess. After they become roommates, they quickly fall in love. But while Charlie's left her illicit digital past behind, Jess's still deep in a life of hacking. After a routine data-grab leads Jess to a corrupt MP, her curiosity takes her to the depths of a sprawling conspiracy.

Realizing she's in danger, Jess stages a bitter argument to force Charlie out of the apartment and flees. But Charlie unexpectedly returns, narrowly surviving a violent raid. Forced into hiding, Charlie's meticulously constructed life is suddenly on the brink of collapse. Hunted by a ruthless intelligence agent - who is unknowingly being manipulated by his own power-hungry supervisor - Charlie realizes the only way to survive is to go on the offensive.

In the end, Charlie must risk the identity she spent her life building to save the woman she loves. Lies Unmake Us is a fractured timeline tale of espionage, found family, and fighting back against a corrupt system before it can erase you.
