After being catfished by someone impersonating Lucy Hale, a disillusioned man loses himself in fantasies with her TV character, unraveling the line between fiction and reality.

SYNOPSIS:

David Williamson, 44, is stuck in the quiet ruins of his life—a burnt-out pharmacy tech trapped in a decaying marriage, ignored by his family, and haunted by dreams he never chased. When he receives a message from someone claiming to be Lucy Hale, it seems like a glitch in the simulation. But what begins as curiosity soon morphs into addiction.

Their late-night texts offer something he hasn’t felt in years: significance. As he falls deeper, David begins to confide in “Lucy,” exposing his emotional wreckage, his marital despair, and his desire to be seen. But the woman on the other end isn’t Lucy—she’s a scammer with a script. David knows this. And still, he chooses belief.

Meanwhile, his fantasy life intensifies. He doesn’t just picture Lucy—he imagines Aria Montgomery, Lucy’s alter ego from Pretty Little Liars, entering his world, whispering to him, guiding him, loving him. These hallucinations blur the lines between emotional need and mental fracture.

At home, David’s world quietly implodes. Ashley, his manipulative surrogate daughter, uncovers everything—his texts, videos, and obsession—and begins her own covert sabotage. She contacts “Lucy,” plants seeds of doubt, and sets David up for emotional exposure. The house becomes a quiet warzone of lies, whispers, and static-filled baby monitors.

As the deception escalates and David begins preparing for a fictional red-carpet invitation in Memphis, the delusions grow darker. Aria becomes more than a muse—she becomes an interrogator, a tormentor, a mirror. David is left questioning whether his love was ever real, or just a desperate man’s story written in the dark.

Pretty Little Lucy is a psychological descent into emotional vulnerability, identity collapse, and digital seduction. A surreal blend of truth and fantasy, it explores how far one man will go to feel loved—even if it costs him everything real.
