Sarah (Stephanie Hunt, co-writer) gets a new name, a new home, bathroom and bedroom. She is to avoid talking to other people and, as the official sitting opposite her points out, just try not to be who she is. Certainly, and under no circumstances, is she to mention Youngstown, Ohio. Sarah, whose family history has been complicated, is part of the witness protection program. However, she has a serious problem - she is completely unable to lie or even remember her new name. Fortunately, in Youngstown, to which she immediately returns, she quickly meets an outspoken crook who "forgot" to return the car after a test drive and promises to teach her to cheat and use crutches convincingly. In his "microscopic" movie Peter Ohs shows some inept cheats who could learn a lot from Ryan and Tatum O'Neal from Paper Moon, surprised to learn that the more they lie, the more they learn about themselves.
