When the Truth Lies

September 6, 2010
Zane Presents Carson's engrossing debut about sexy African-American singles on the prowl for love and fame in Atlanta. Markus Greene, a young, successful ad exec, loves hitting the freaky club scene but has trouble forming healthy romantic relationships—a result of being sexually abused as a child. Tyrone, meanwhile, believes he's straight but decides to explore the down-low path with Brandon, a gay producer and songwriter who's working with Markus's best friend, Uniyah, who's recovering from a disastrous affair with a married man. After Uniyah and Markus connect at Club Chillax, a rapidly-progressing romance is derailed by lies that threaten their future together and force Markus to a shattering realization. Carson delivers an unflinching examination of the ways in which child molestation can haunt its victim into adulthood while skillfully delivering the familiar fun components of soapy melodrama.
