Burbank, CA (July 24, 2014) - Ali's games may have pushed her friends too far when an innocent man's life is put in the balance in "A Dark Ali," an all-new episode of ABC Family's hit original series "Pretty Little Liars," premiering Tuesday, August 12th (8:00 - 9:00 PM ET/PT).

The pressure is on for Alison to identify the man police have in custody for her kidnapping, but the Liars know if she does it would be sending an innocent man to prison and possibly walking right into an "A" trap. With Emily trying to convince Ali not to play into "A's" hand, Spencer comes up with a plan B in case Ali decides to make the wrong decision.

Meanwhile, fed up with all of the Ali drama, Hanna tries to lead a "normal" teenage life.
