Spoilers ahead
15-year-old Jack Parker seems to have it all: popularity at school, a comfortable home, and a near-certain scholarship that could land him a coveted role as a batboy for the Boston Red Sox. Yet Parker is a chronic liar, and his successes have always rested on a web of invented stories.
During a school speech, a boy named Mikey suddenly appears—an alias Parker once claimed to tutor in order to dodge chores. Mikey, who insists he is the very kid Parker said he helped, becomes a troubling mirror to Parker’s fabrications and their consequences.
