An unlikely super-hero origin story, The Beautiful Liar, is an original scripted series imagined by the band the X Ambassadors. When a blind teenager named Clementine (Rory Anne Dahl) suddenly loses her father, her world is completely upended — powers she didn’t know she had start to manifest and take the form of her secret friend, Shadow (Emily Hampshire, Schitt’s Creek). Moving to a new school, she struggles to hide her abilities from her friends - and band mates - as they fight to make the town a better place. Little does she know, her powers have triggered the attention of The Institute, a sinister organization who will stop at nothing to have her in their grasp.
~~

Kelly Brianna ,

Insanely Well Done!

This is one of the best audio, full cast dramas I’ve listened to yet. The acting is really strong & the sounds are stellar. I loved the music!

The story itself is really well tackled, sort of Carrie/Firestarter/The institute, Stephen King vibe meets Stranger Things. I’m so hoping there will be a season 2!
