FAKE

When journalist Birdie Bell (Asher Keddie) meets farmer Joe Burt on a dating app she has high hopes for their burgeoning relationship even though they don’t seem overly suited. When numerous red flags appear, Birdie begins to question Joe’s intentions. As time goes on, she becomes paranoid and wonders if she’s imagining his indiscretions or if he really is playing her. Soon the truth becomes obvious to everyone except Birdie. A well written and strongly acted Aussie drama featuring two infuriating main characters – one who’s blinded every step of the way and the other who’s a manipulative lying con artist. You’ll be yelling at your TV screen! A depressing true story based on how much some people are willing to endure in the pursuit of love.
