9 parts Ongoing MatureBack in 2004, sixteen-year-olds Jysaiah and Truth fell for each other hard. But their young love was tangled up in a dangerous world-Jysaiah was connected to a powerful drug dealer, and Truth was caught between her heart and survival. Together, they tried to hold on through chaos, addiction, and loyalty that came with a cost.
Now in 2024, their kids-Yoni, her twin brother Aviyon, and their older brother Xyleek-are stuck dealing with the aftermath. With their mom always traveling as a flight attendant and their dad working late night shifts, the twins mostly grew up at their grandparents' house. But things never added up.
Yoni starts digging, questioning the stories she's been told about her parents. Rumors about gangs, drugs, and secrets from the past push her to find out the truth. But at the same time, she and her brother are facing their own drama-toxic relationships, bad decisions, and pressure from all sides.
This story is more than just uncovering what happened back then. It's about what happens when the past never really stays in the past.
"The Lies That They Told" is filled with romance, mystery, and real-life family drama. It's about love that gets messy, secrets that change everything, and growing up in the shadow of what came before.
