One night a woman gets mistaken as a sex worker and decides to go along with it.
Just Lie to Me is a dark comedy centered around two people navigating their identities: Noah, a well-off intellectual who gets pressured by his coworker into soliciting a girl for the night and Brooke, who gets mistaken as a prostitute and decides to go along with it.
