The movie adaptation of Becca Fitzpatrick’s popular young adult novel series Hush, Hush has found its leads in Liana Liberato (If I Stay) and Wolfgang Novogratz (Assassination Nation), according to Deadline.
Per the report, Liberato will play Nora Gray, a sixteen-year-old whose life quickly changes when she meets Patch (Novogratz), a mysterious new bad boy in school. Her instincts tell her to stay away from him, but Nora can’t help being drawn to his undeniable charm. As they get closer, Nora finds herself in dangerous inexplicable situations and begins to realize that Patch is actually a fallen angel with harmful intentions.
