Actors Sasha Pieterse (“Pretty Little Liars”) and Parker Young (“Imposters”) star in the new thriller “The Image of You.”

The film, directed by Jeff Fisher, is a twisted tale of deception and desire based on the bestselling book by Adele Parks, MBE.

The synopsis is: Identical twins Anna and Zoe (played by Sasha Pieterse) find their bond tested over Anna’s new love, Nick (Parker Young).

While the trusting Anna is head over heels, her skeptical sister Zoe senses a web of deceit. As Zoe digs for the truth, they’re all pulled into a dangerous game where honesty could prove fatal.

With Sasha Pieterse taking on both twin roles, the viewer can recall Lauren Swickard in the Lifetime movie “Twisted Twin” coupled with Pieterse’s own character Alison DiLaurentis in “Pretty Little Liars.”

Parker Young is convincing as the charming yet deceptive Nick. Young has great chemistry with Pieterse in this thriller. Nestor Carbonell is a revelation as David, while Mira Sorvino is the voice of empathy as the motherly Alexia.
