Synopsis
When a publishing house is razed to the ground and a man dies in the blaze, no one suspects charming young bookseller, Ben Tippet; but beneath his charismatic facade lurks a compulsive liar with an undiagnosed personality disorder.
Exposed by his desperation to rise above ordinariness, betrayed by his novelist lover, and about to stand trial for manslaughter, Ben starts writing his anarchic, darkly humorous autobiography, telling us tales of a dysfunctional family, love, secrets and deception. Scratch the surface of his self-portrait and an even darker canvas shines through; the landscape of a celebrity obsessed world hooked on sex, fame and fortune. Is Ben a criminal or the wannabe victim of a society we've all created?
