Ron Perlman and Teri Polo will star in the upcoming indie thriller "Lies We Follow," directed by Aida Gevorgyan [1].

The project marks a high-profile pairing for the independent production, blending Perlman's presence with Polo's dramatic range in a story centered on medical desperation and manipulation.

The film follows the story of Jamie, a mother who becomes increasingly frustrated when medical professionals are unable to cure her dying daughter, Emma [2]. In her desperation, Jamie begins following a charismatic doctor [1].

Perlman is cast in the role of that doctor [1]. The production is set to shoot in Los Angeles [1].

"In the pic, Jamie, a desperate mother, is frustrated after doctors are unable to cure her dying daughter, Emma," Gevorgyan said [2].

The narrative explores the lengths a parent will go to save a child, and the risks involved in trusting a singular, persuasive figure when traditional medicine fails [1, 3].

The casting of established actors like Perlman and Polo in an indie thriller suggests a strategy to attract wider distribution and audience interest for a smaller-budget production. By centering the plot on the universal emotional hook of a dying child, the film positions itself within the psychological thriller genre, focusing on the vulnerability of people facing medical crises.
