Po pravdě… všichni lžou. Lucy Harperová je talentová spisovatelka a autorka několika bestsellerů, díky kterým získala slávu, peníze i miliony fanoušků. Kromě toho má Dana – zneuznaného a žárlivého manžela, jehož pokusy stát se spisovatelem nedopadly valně. Teď Dan zmizel, a navíc to není poprvé, kdy se ztratil někdo z Lucyina okolí. Před třiceti lety zmizel i její bráška Teddy a nikdy ho nenašli. Lucy, jediná svědkyně, si o tom, co se stalo, bezradně vymýšlela jeden příběh za druhým. Vyšetřující detektiv zuřil a její rodiče propadali zoufalství. Právě tehdy zjistila, že dokáže vyprávět poutavé příběhy, a ze svého talentu těží dodnes. Z Lucy se však stala dospělá žena, která se nemůže věčně skrývat za smyšlenými historkami. Celý svět ji pozoruje, její život je pod drobnohledem… život plný příběhů, z nichž některé jsou uvěřitelnější, jiné už méně. Mohla tenkrát Teddymu ublížit? Zabila svého muže? Přichází chvíle, kdy Lucy Harperová konečně řekne pravdu.
