Psychiatrist Julia Smythe is starting to believe that her field of work no longer has any interesting cases, and the arrival of a young man seeking yet another quick fix does nothing to change her mind.
Their sessions become a battle of wills, played out in stylish and witty banter, as each of them tries to take charge of the situation. As secrets are revealed, a psychological game of cat and mouse takes them both on a journey that threatens to spiral out of control.
Deceptions stars Michelle Collins, best known for playing Cindy Beale in EastEnders, as well as for Rock Rivals, Sunburn and 2000 Acres of Sky, and Rupert Hill, who most recently appeared as Danny Baldwin in Coronation Street.
