Synopsis

The Good Lie is a story about four Sudanese children who are orphaned after their village is massacred in the Second Sudanese Civil War. They embark on an arduous and dangerous trek through the plains, enduring hardship, death, and sacrifice until they reach safety in a refugee camp in Kenya.

Years later, these youths are among 3600 selected for resettlement in America. However, the one girl among them is sent to Boston, while the three boys must start a new life in Kansas City. Together, these young men must adjust to an alien culture as the emotional baggage of their past haunts them.

Despite the challenges, these newcomers and their new friends, like employment counselor Carrie Davis, strive to understand one another in their new home as they make peace with their histories. This journey will change all their lives.
