Description
Frank only wanted three things this year: to perform stand-up comedy, go to therapy, and to keep his house plants alive.
Then Giorgio got hit by a bus.
As Frank moves in with Giorgio to help him recover, he begins to suspect that the perfect life Giorgio has been sharing online may be nothing more than a web of lies and scams. Finding himself unable to disentangle himself from his friend's complicated life, has Frank become Giorgio's unwitting accomplice?
The Con Artists by Luke Healy explores themes of friendship, deceit, and the blurred lines between online personas and reality.
