Yesterday’s Lies is a poignant tale of a circle of close friends who lives are more intertwined than they realize. That is until the blurred lines of love, lust and friendship begins to reveal the half-truths and lies that exist. Will the secrets they all hold from the past ruin their friendships and lives forever?

Toni and Jada have been friends since high school. They dated best friends David and Benjamin and the foursome even decided to attend the same college together.

A tragic event in the final semester of senior year starts the web of lies and deceit that will follow them into their adult lives. The story begins seven years after graduation from college. The secrets and lies from their past start to unravel when an old friend returns from a seven-year hiatus. Where has he been? Does he hold the key to unlock the secrets and lies from their past?

Others in this small group of friends have their own secrets they have been keeping. When the truth is revealed, will the life changing decisions that were made based on what everyone thought they knew be enough to rip friendships apart?
