Jeff Pardon thought it was just a harmless excuse. A homeless man asked him for change. Jeff said he didn't have any... then spent quarters on a newspaper, a hot dog, and a soda right in front of him. That night, under a falling star, the stranger made a wish on Jeff's behalf:
Every lie you tell will come true.
At first, Jeff laughs it off. But when small fibs spiral into horrifying realities - groceries toppling into the street, cars crashing, phantom dinners making him sick, girlfriends showing up pregnant from dates he never had, ten furious men chasing him through the city - he realizes the curse is real.
Each lie he tells reshapes reality with brutal consequences. Each excuse becomes a prison. Each boast becomes a nightmare. And with every passing day, the walls of truth and fiction close tighter around him.
Jeff Pardon can lie no longer - not without risking his life, his family, even his sanity. But what happens when the only way to survive is to face the truth... no matter how painful it is?
A chilling, relentless tale of honesty, consequence, and the lies we tell ourselves - and what happens when every single one of them comes back to claim us.
