In Millington Valley, Pennsylvania, five popular high school athletes have made a deadly mistake and vow never to speak of it. Piper Rose, ballet protégé, is laden guilt and fails her college dance audition and her OCD tendencies morph into self-mutilation. She knows that confessing their misdeed would jeopardize the guys’ soccer scholarships, and the possibility of love with the one who pulled the trigger.

Tensions rise, fear mounts, and in-fighting escalates as each teen deals with pangs of conscience. Ultimately, Piper must choose whether to admit their cover-up, shattering the futures of everyone else involved, or wreck her own life.

The Lying Season is a cautionary tale about how one moment can destroy lives–it’s a story about choices—self-preservation over loyalty, virtue over remorse, and ultimately integrity over immorality.

Millington Valley is a quintessential small Pennsylvania town: families go back generations. Football rules. Kids drink while adults look the other way. High school is a whirlwind of aspiration and rivalry, friendship and jealousy. When smart and pretty Molly Hanover moves to town and attracts the attention of the football team’s hero, Wade Thornton—a nice guy with a bad drinking habit—longtime friendships are threatened and a popular cheerleader tries to turn the school against Molly.
