This is unmistakably in part because of the couple the film focuses on and how they choose to go about their crisis-by getting ahead of the scenario using Rebecca’s connection with local law enforcement, by hiding out in the upper-middle class digs, and trying to shift the blame to those who are continuously being harmed by their selfishness. Sud's film is the case of a morality game that never grabs you, despite a nightmarish scenario with which no one would want to be faced. When Britney’s father Sam ( Cas Anvar) turns up asking where his daughter is, their ramshackle alibi seems to deteriorate with each action. They can’t let their child go to jail for such a crime, and so they decide to lie about it. Her father Jay ( Peter Sarsgaard) is most immediately in denial, even though he tries to find the body at first, and spearheads a campaign with her mother Rebecca ( Mireille Enos) to cover it up. King stars in “The Lie” as Kayla, a teenager who kills her friend Brittany one day ( Devery Jacobs) by pushing her into an icy river. This sends Kayla's divorced parents into panic mode, facing choices they never thought they’d have to make.
