A 24-hour chauffeur/bodyguard is hired to keep an eye on an heiress with a murderous sleepwalking disorder.
LYING TO MOTHER follows Adele Farrows, an heiress with a sleepwalking disorder that causes her to kill at night. Raised by an abusive "experimental child psychologist" mother, Adele refuses all forms of scientific and science-adjacent help to overcome her problem. This takes a toll on her family, her work, and her recently hired chauffeur, whose curiosity about her new boss becomes insatiable.
