Desperate Lies Plot
Desperate Lies follows Liana, a married woman, whose seemingly perfect life shatters when she discovers her husband, Tomas, is having an affair. Devastated and heartbroken, Liana seeks solace on a night out, turning to drugs to numb her pain. However, in her vulnerable state, she is sexually assaulted by Oscar, who provides her with drugs and forces himself on her while she’s unconscious. Later Liana realizes she is pregnant and makes an appointment with her doctor. But the diagnosis complicates things further as it is revealed that her pregnancy is a case of superfecundation where she’s carrying twins, each with a different father.
While Tomas tries to reconcile with her and learns about her pregnancy, Oscar is also putting effort into claiming Liana. After giving birth and returning to Tomas, Liana raises her both kids with Tomas but is pulled into complicated lies when she tries to hide the truth about her second child being the result of a rape.
