Description
Based on a true story, White Lies (Where there is smoke…) is set in ‘God’s Own Country’, in Walwa, Northeast Victoria.
A fiery car wreck extinguishes the life of Raymond (Dickie) White’s devoted wife and catapults him to the attention of enthusiastic police investigators and newspaper journalists and simultaneously reignites the local rumour mill.
Is he the victim of small-town gossip, ultimately hounded to death by misinterpretations of his actions? Or is he a cunning, scheming individual who manipulates situations and takes advantage of innocents to achieve his ambition of owning his own farm? His plans unravel as his web of lies is unpicked by the persistent, dedicated investigations of police utilising innovative forensic techniques and insightful deductions. As the net closes around him, he is left with only one option for escape.
