Synopsis
Safe and sound in their suburban home, Will and Lynn Cameron used to sleep well at night, trusting their children were protected. Will, in particular, was comforted by the fact that he and Lynn raised three bright children, and that once the doors were locked and the alarm was set, nothing - absolutely nothing - was going to harm his family.
When his fourteen-year-old daughter, Annie, made a new friend online - a sixteen-year-old boy named Charlie that she met in a volleyball chat room - Will and Lynn didn't think much of it. They discussed his friendship with her, assuming that this is normal with teenagers who connect through the Internet.
After weeks of communicating online, Annie becomes enraptured by Charlie and finds herself drawn to him more and more. Slowly she learns he is not who he claims to be, yet Annie remains intrigued by Charlie even as the truth about him is uncovered. The devastating revelation reverberates through her entire family, setting in motion a chain of events that forever change their lives in ways that no one could have ever predicted. Directed by David Schwimmer, Trust stars Academy Award®-nominees Clive Owen and Catherine Keener, newcomer Liana Liberato, Jason Clarke, Chris Henry Coffey, Joe Sikora, Spencer Curnutt, with Noah Emmerich and Academy Award®- nominee Viola Davis. The film was written by Andy Bellin and Robert Festinger and produced by Tom Hodges, Ed Cathell III, Dana Golomb, David Schwimmer, Robert Greenhut and Heidi Jo Markel.
