Synopsis

In a society where everyone speaks only the truth because falsehood never existed, a downtrodden nobody discovers how to invent a lie. He uses this new power to remake his reputation, outmaneuver rivals and climb the social ladder, but his invention sets off a cascade of unexpected consequences: trust unravels, institutions buckle, and he must reckon with whether his hard-won ascent is worth the moral wreckage he has unleashed.
