White Lie - IN COMPETITION

Ten months into a ‘cancer’ diagnosis, talented dance student Katie (Kacey Rohl) is informed that her grant is in jeopardy. She needs to fake her medical records but that kind of fraud doesn’t come cheap. Her loving girlfriend Jennifer (Amber Anderson) offers money, thinking it’s for an experimental treatment, but instead Katie turns to her father, Doug (Martin Donovan). He doesn’t believe her, hinting at a troubled history and past trauma, and when he challenges his daughter publicly, she becomes increasingly desperate.
