Sinopsis

Cary Scott's remarkable life story of spectacular good fortune, mixed with soul-crushing abuse, is frankly unbelievable. Even to Cary himself. In a series of disturbing, unfiltered monologues, Cary unburdens himself of his memories -- of being raised by a psychopathic single mother who was abandoned by her gay husband, of becoming the target of a pedophile, of becoming morbidly obese, followed by quack treatments that boomerang him alarmingly into anorexia. Cary recalls being a bullied gay teenager who literally crucifies himself with a hammer and nails to get out of gym class. From a psych ward, he finds himself instantly famous after an unintentionally homoerotic poem he wrote for a high school assignment finds its way to becoming the #1 pop song in the nation. In the years that follow, Cary's life nosedives again and again, yet he always finds himself rescued by bizarre deus-ex-machina occurrences. All these tales, however, are placed into doubt after his former therapist is accused in the media of implanting false memories in patients. Cary is labeled a pathological liar in a national magazine cover story. Refusing to believe that his exceptional life never actually happened, Cary creates a grotesque, secret, museum to himself filled with artefacts of atrocities and miracles which prove that his memories are true - but is it only a museum of lies?

    When the death of Isaiah “Zay” Turner awakens controversy in the Midwest, Jennifer Davis and Attorney Marcus Brown band together to bring the Turner family their deserved justice. They work closely as a team to conquer allyship, defeat agenda-setting narratives, and decriminalize Isaiah’s name--alongside his mother, uncle and girlfriend, Tiara. 
    With the trial of Isaiah’s killer, Robert McCarthy, coming up soon, conservative supporters protest his freedom, while provoking violence against the Black Lives Matter Movement. And when a key witness goes missing, Jennifer, Marcus, and the team, lack supporting evidence that could help put him behind bars. In attempt to locate the witness, they come across Zay’s old friend, Tyler Young, who gives them information that could potentially incriminate some really crooked people – including McCarthy and a secret criminal organization. 
    The team unite with Tyler to figure out what really happened leading up to the “Fourth of July” shooting (that costed Isaiah his life). But when they’re all exposed to the bigger picture, the truth is much more disturbing than they imagine. 
    Then again, the truth is never easy to hear…is it?
