The truth is a motherf_cker.

ThrillerRomance

Writer and Adderall enthusiast Stephen Elliott reaches a low point when his estranged father resurfaces, claiming that Stephen has fabricated much of the dark childhood that that fuels his writing. Adrift in the precarious gray area of memory, Stephen is led by three sources of inspiration: a new romance, the best friend who shares his history, and a murder trial that reminds him more than a little of his own story. Based on the memoir of the same name.

VIBE

A raw, introspective dive into the unreliable nature of memory and the corrosive effects of addiction. It's a gritty, melancholic character study that feels deeply personal and unflinchingly honest, exploring the blurred lines between truth and fiction.
