Emmy-nominee Natasha Lyonne (Russian Doll) and Oscar-winner Adrien Brody star in this mystery-of-the-week series from writer-director Rian Johnson (Knives Out).
Charlie Cale (Lyonne) has an extraordinary ability to determine when someone is lying. She hits the road with her Plymouth Barracuda and with every stop encounters a new cast of characters and strange crimes she can’t help but solve.

The joy of the show is watching Charlie piece together what occurred by applying her special set of skills. And it is a joy. A shrewd, moreish pleasure—and among the most interesting reinventions of the murder mystery genre in years.
