Empire of Lies

David “Dave” Harris lives alone in a remote campervan, cut off from the world and consumed by grief. Once publicly accused of murdering his daughter, he was never charged — but the damage was done, leaving him isolated and defined by suspicion. When a young YouTuber arrives to interview him about the case, Dave reluctantly begins to revisit his version of events. What starts as a search for answers soon becomes something far more intimate. As the conversation unfolds, grief, memory and belief begin to intertwine. Dave’s account is compelling — at times even persuasive — but as the interview deepens, doubts begin to surface. Certainties falter. The boundaries between truth and emotional survival start to blur. What emerges is not just a story about what happened, but about what it means to hold onto a version of the truth when letting go might be unbearable. Empire of Lies is a haunting psychological drama about grief, belief, and the fragile line between them.
