A young man feels trapped by the monotony of his working-class life and dreams of escaping to London. To alleviate his boredom, he begins to fabricate elaborate stories and lies, initially to impress a woman he admires and to avoid unpleasant obligations. However, his deceptions quickly spiral out of control, causing increasing complications and affecting the lives of those around him. He must then confront the consequences of his actions and decide whether to pursue his dreams or face the reality he's been trying to avoid.
