Lie

Working as the Chief of Literature, Alwin makes a living by creating lies. Hiding in the reality that he creates, it's only a matter of time before it falls apart. Desperately trying to believe in a perfect world, Alwin does everything he can to follow the rules and protect a secret project codenamed Primavera- including turning against his closest friends. In the heat of the moment, he burns the last reminder of his friend Jordan's family.

Now, he'll do anything to get it back. Eyes watch him from all sides as he tries to turn back time. The line between right and wrong blurs until it's impossible to tell the difference. From lying to the government to stealing its most precious secrets, Alwin is willing to do anything to give Jordan back her family.

The only thing is, what will it cost him? And does Jordan even want it? Buried in what he wants to believe, Alwin runs from the truth.

Maybe Jordan's not the one who needs saving after all.

Sometimes you just can't handle the truth.
