Deceit is a true story centered on a controversial honeytrap at the core of the 1992 police investigation into the murder of a young mother in London. The film explores the complex and toxic sexual politics of the early 1990s and the police force's fixation on the wrong suspect. It follows a female undercover officer, operating under the codename "Lizzie James," who is tasked with becoming sexual bait for a man suspected of the murder.
