Ember Lee Cardinal’s job search is not going well. So when her resumé is rejected for the 37th time, she takes matters into her own hands. She gets “creative” listing her qualifications and answers the ethnicity question on applications with a lie --- a half-lie, technically. No one wanted Native American Ember, but white Ember has just landed her dream accounting job. Accountant Ember thrives in corporate life --- and her love life seems to be looking up: Danuwoa Colson, the IT guy and fellow Native who caught her eye on her first day, actually seems to be interested in her too. They start to see each other secretly. But when they're caught in a compromising position on a work trip, a scheming colleague blackmails Ember, threatening to expose their relationship. As the manipulation continues to grow, so do Ember’s lies.
