　　那一夜，露西被發現在街上徘徊，身上沾滿了莎薇的血。鎮上所有人都認為她殺了自己的好朋友，最糟糕的是，露西似乎驚嚇過度，完全忘了那個晚上究竟發生了什麼事。露西和莎薇兩個人是鎮上的明星雙姝，都聰明又漂亮，所有人都羨慕的那種女孩。露西嫁給了夢中情人，手上戴著大戒指，入住美麗的新豪宅。而莎薇則是社交花蝴蝶，人見人愛。不過如果你相信謠言，這裡所謂的人見人愛，特別指的是男人。在這件可怕的事發生之後，露西決定遠離小鎮，飛到舊金山開始全新的人生。
 
　　五年後露西為了替祖母慶生，決定重返家鄉，即使鎮上居民依然把她當殺人兇手看待。一個知名的真實犯罪Podcast節目『傾聽謊言』的主持人班恩湊巧也來到鎮上，到處採訪關於本案的說法，打聽露西的家族故事。不幸遇害的莎薇真的像大家想的一樣甜美善良嗎？露西是否真的是殺人兇手，或是被誣陷的受害者？命案的真相，等著願意聆聽的人來發現。(文／博客來外文館)

　　What if you thought you murdered your best friend? And if everyone else thought so too? And what if the truth doesn't matter?

　　After Lucy is found wandering the streets, covered in her best friend Savvy’s blood, everyone thinks she is a murderer. Lucy and Savvy were the golden girls of their small Texas town: pretty, smart, and enviable. Lucy married a dream guy with a big ring and an even bigger new home. Savvy was the social butterfly loved by all, and if you believe the rumors, especially popular with the men in town. It’s been years since that horrible night, a night Lucy can’t remember anything about, and she has since moved to LA and started a new life.

　　But now the phenomenally huge hit true crime podcast "Listen for the Lie," and its too-good looking host Ben Owens, have decided to investigate Savvy’s murder for the show’s second season. Lucy is forced to return to the place she vowed never to set foot in again to solve her friend’s murder, even if she is the one that did it.

　　The truth is out there, if we just listen.
