Liars in Love
San Francisco, 1980. Hustlers run the city. And having a good story is all that matters.
Sam is fresh out of San Quentin and wants to go straight. A few hundred dollars in his pocket and a brand-new Macy's suit, and he is ready to be a new man. But when his old crime boss Paul shows back up in his life looking for the money he owes him, Sam can't talk his way out of it.
Strutting around in pencil skirts and knocking back whiskey, Kath is a far cry from the grimy street kid she used to be. And if she lifts a pair of gloves from a department store every now and then, no harm done, right?
The first time they meet, Kath smiles at him, and time freezes. Then she punches him in the face and steals his wallet. Sam is instantly mesmerized.
