Javier Perez is a hustler from a family of hustlers. As a college student, Javi embellishes his life story until there's not even a kernel of truth left. The only real connection to his past is the occasional letter he trades with his childhood best friend, Gio. Soon after graduating, a viral essay transforms Javi from a writer on the rise to a journalist at a legendary magazine. But Gio more than anyone knows who Javi really is. Once he's released from prison and Javi offers to cut him in on the deal, will he play along with Javi's charade, or will it all come crumbling down?
