"If, like truth, the lie had but one face, we would be on better terms. For we could accept as certain the opposite of what the liar would say. But the reverse of truth has a hundred thousand faces and an infinite field," Montaigne, the French essayist, observed. Deceiver, written and directed by Jonas and Joshua Pate, is a riveting psychological thriller about a compulsive liar who uses his brilliant ability to spin webs of deceit to hurt people.

Brought in as a suspect in the grisly murder of a young prostitute (Renee Zellweger) in Charleston, South Carolina, James Walter Wayland (Tim Roth in a chilling performance), heir to a textile fortune, is given a series of polygraph tests by two detectives — Braxton (Chris Penn) and Kennesaw (Michael Rooker). They are unprepared for the malevolence of the suspect — an alcoholic who also suffers from temporal lobe epilepsy. Deceiver explores some of the varied faces of lying and deception in our society from the inconsequential to the deeply harmful.
