True Deception. Trying to deal with his past success, writer’s block, substance abuse, and childhood trauma, author Stephen Elliot (James Franco) takes on a project to write about the bizarre murder trial of Hans Reiser (Christian Slater), who is accused of murdering his wife.

But as the case takes an unexpected turn, Elliot’s father Neil (Ed Harris) resurfaces to challenge his son’s claims about their history, beginning an introspective obsession with truth, deception, and sins of the past.
