The interesting plot takes place in the fictional Dalton Town and focuses around a missing boarding school student. The show's trailer has been released, and it depicts what occurs when a 12-year-old Shakti goes missing from the boarding school, causing things to spiral out of control and revealing the skeletons hidden in the boarding school's wardrobe.

The 'School of Lies' stars Varin Roopani, Divyansh Dwivedi, Aryan Singh Ahlawat, Hemant Kher, Parthiv Shetty, Adrija Sinha, and Aalekh Kapoor. Avinash Arun Bhaware, the film's creator and director, also stated that "'School of Lies' is the narrative of a child's "loneliness, estrangement, and suppression."There's also a story about a child's freedom, magic, and other things. Every child, whether in a boarding school or not, will go through these stages at some point. Children today are considerably more sensitive and vulnerable. It's a novel about the times we live in, and an attempt to empathise with all the forces within us that can either liberate or kill us."
