Deceived

Adrienne Saunders and her art dealer husband Jack are happily married with their daughter Mary. They enjoy a stable, loving home as the story begins.

The local museum curator is mysteriously murdered, and Jack falls under suspicion of selling forged treasures to the museum. The accusation hints at Jack's hidden life and sets the plot in motion.

Jack has to travel to Boston on a work assignment, but Adrienne hears from a friend that she thought she saw him in town. The rumor plants seed of doubt about Jack's whereabouts.

Adrienne confronts Jack about the sighting, but he denies being in town. The exchange deepens the sense that something is not adding up.

Adrienne receives word from the police that Jack died in a car accident. The sudden loss compounds the mystery surrounding his life and lies.

With Jack dead, Adrienne begins to suspect he was not who he claimed to be. She starts digging into his past and hidden life to uncover the truth.

Adrienne discovers a high school yearbook photo of her husband labeled as Frank Sullivan, revealing a secret identity and deception.

She tracks down Jack's cousin Evelyn, who confirms Jack and Frank were inseparable in high school. Evelyn explains that after Jack died, she never saw Frank again.

Evelyn directs Adrienne to Frank's mother, Rosalie, who lives in a rundown Brooklyn apartment. Rosalie reveals harsh truths about Frank and his selfish nature.

A stalker lurks at Adrienne's loft, entering Adrienne's bed while she sleeps and caressing her. He watches Mary, who is spooked by the man in her room. The housekeeper surprises the intruder, who leaves the apartment badly wounded.

Adrienne receives an urgent message from Mrs. Sullivan and rushes to her apartment. Jack appears, admits he faked his death and is being blackmailed by Dan Sherman, and asks Adrienne to search for a missing Egyptian necklace.

Adrienne finds a Parks Department ID bearing her husband's picture and the name Daniel Sherman, leading her to the Sherman residence. She tracks down the address and prepares to confront the truth.

Adrienne meets Mrs. Sherman, who is pregnant, and discovers pictures of Jack with Mrs. Sherman, revealing the Mary connection. Jack calls, demanding the necklace to be returned.

Jack abducts Mary and forces Adrienne to retrieve the necklace for a showdown at their loft. Mary had traded the necklace to another girl, complicating the plan and raising the stakes.

A tense chase leads to an elevator shaft at a construction site. Adrienne lures Jack into the shaft, he falls to his death, and Adrienne and Mary begin a new life elsewhere, free from the deception.
