The problem is no one has the facts.<br/><br/>Until now.<br/><br/>This time it's not an app, though—it's a game.<br/><br/>Truth or Dare.<br/><br/>Phoebe's the first target. If you choose not to play, it's a truth. And hers is dark.<br/><br/>Then comes Maeve and she should know better—always choose the dare.<br/><br/>But by the time Knox is about to be tagged, things have gotten dangerous. The dares have become deadly, and if Maeve learned anything from Bronwyn last year, it's that they can't count on the police for help. Or protection.<br/><br/>Simon's gone, but someone's determined to keep his legacy at Bayview High alive. And the rules have changed.<br/><br/>Fans of the hit thriller that started it all can watch the secrets of the Bayview Four be revealed in the One of Us is Lying TV series now streaming on NBC's Peacock!
