A scandal that rocked the wellness industry

Played by Kaitlyn Dever, Belle claimed to have cured her terminal brain cancer using alternative medicine. She amassed millions of followers, released a best-selling cookbook, and even launched an app - before the truth unravelled.
The show follows her rise and fall, as well as the impact of her deception on those who trusted her. One of those people is Milla Blake (played by Alycia Debnam-Carey), a fellow wellness influencer who is actually battling cancer. As the truth about Belle's lies begins to emerge, Milla becomes determined to expose her.
