University lecturer Dr Leah Dale has always prided herself on her academic integrity, so when final year student Rose submits a suspiciously top-grade essay, Leah is quick to call her out. But there's more going on than meets the eye as Rose takes the challenge as a personal affront, and what begins as a seemingly open-and-shut case of academic deception soon spirals out of control.

Cheat is a slow burn thriller that has more twists and turns than the unsealed road that leads to the secluded family bach. But its the way that the narrative lets them meticulously unfold that really ratchets up the tension and has you questioning, re-thinking, and re-establishing your theories. Cheat is slightly let down by its conclusion but overall it is well worth your time. 

​

Cheat is an enthralling physiological thriller helmed by two fantastic lead performances.
