The Biggest Liar in Los Angeles

In 1926, a weekly community newspaper reports the lynching of Tom Hickey's dear friend, yet neither police nor mainstream media admit the crime happened. Tom, a USC fullback already working day and night to support his wild teenaged sister, feels a personal and moral compulsion to investigate. He soon finds himself a one-man team facing a formidable opposing lineup: a police force known for violence and corruption; two of America's most powerful men, Harry Chandler, owner of the LA Times, and William Randolph Hearst, owner of the Examiner; and America's most dynamic and popular woman, mega-church and radio evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson.
