Meet Macey Kaper

Avery Dalton never planned on becoming the world’s most unreliable narrator of her own life. 

Once a high-powered international businesswoman, now demoted to errand-runner for suits at a computer company, she discovers a strange new hobby: making things up.

One “harmless” lunchtime whopper about hydroponic beets in the bush snowballs into a full deli sideshow. From there, the lies get bigger, bolder, and far too much fun to quit. Avery & her coworker in crime dub it “public lying” — a social experiment that wins laughs, turns heads, and for the first time makes her feel like somebody special.

But what begins as a prank quickly tangles with real life. Her husband Zach doesn’t get the joke. Her coworkers lean in too close. And as lines blur between fantasy and reality, Avery finds herself swept into a darkly comic spiral: the innocent becoming guilty, the fun transforming into nightmare.

The Art and Science of Public Lying is a whip-smart comedy about how a single game of make-believe can topple into chaos — and a drama about the truths we hide, the lies we tell, and the desperate need to be seen in a world that’s stopped listening.
