Plot of We Were Liars
In We Were Liars, Cadence Sinclair is a young woman who returns to Beechwood, her family's private island, after losing her memory because of a traumatic event. The island used to be a place where families could get together, but now that the Sinclair mansion has been replaced by a cold, modern building, it feels far away and unwelcoming.
Johnny and Mirren, her cousins, and Gat, her best friend, are not close to her, and Cadence's mother, Penny, doesn't want her to talk about what happened last summer. As Cadence tries to get back in touch with the Liars, memories from Summer 16 begin to come back to her.
Through flashbacks, Cadence learns about how her family isn't working, especially the problems caused by class differences and long-lasting tensions. To get rid of the bad vibes in the family, Cadence, Johnny, Mirren, and Gat decide to set fire to the Clairmont mansion.
Unfortunately, the fire gets out of hand, and Johnny, Mirren, and Gat all die. Cadence can't remember the traumatic event, and she has no idea that she played a part in their deaths. As she pieces together the truth, she realizes that Gat's tragic death was caused by her actions, especially the fact that she took too long to decide to get the necklace.
In the last few episodes of the season, Cadence rejects her family's control, which is shown by her refusal to wear their pearls. When she leaves Beechwood Island, she rejects the Sinclair family's bad history.
At the end of the season, Cadence starts a new path, which is a metaphor for her letting go of the past. The last scene makes it seem like the ghosts of the Liars may still be around, which means that the story has room to grow.
We Were Liars is available for streaming on Prime Video.
