Plot Synopsis

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. What begins as a seemingly open-and-shut case of academic deception soon spirals out of control. With a devastating sequence of events that threatens to engulf both Rose and Leah, CHEAT explores how far we're prepared to go to stand up for what we believe is right -- and at what cost. CHEAT had its U.S. premiere on Thursday, November 21, 2019, when SundanceNow streamed the first episode, with subsequent installments scheduled to debut each Thursday.
