Summary: Sam learns he has the power to know when someone is lying. Trouble is, when he shares this information with Uncle Gene, a local guy and good friend, he’s told to keep it a secret. But, it seems like everyone in his tiny town is a liar, even his own father and it is driving him nuts. Things really get hairy when someone tries to burn down Uncle Gene’s cabin, and that’s the last straw for Sam. As someone who can get the truth out of anyone willing to talk to him, he’s determined to help find the arsonist, and in the process, learns that it’s not so easy.
