At the Mad Fox Cafe’ a group of strangers come together, spontaneously playing, what becomes a risky game, where everyone always pretends to be someone else.
LIAR’S TRUTH is a psychological thriller series that takes the concept of alter-egos and avatars out of the digital gaming realm and into real life.
The “Mad Fox friends,” become a group with three main rules: nobody can know the identity of anyone else; everyone role-plays; and if their real identity becomes known - they are out.
Aside from their regular catch-ups at the Mad fox Cafe’, they arrange adventures, dinners and trips - all under their assumed identities.
The series will revolve around the real lives of the group and the alter-egos they have created in contrast to, escape from, and even as a remedy for their real lives.
The quirky characters and even quirkier alter-egos propel the story and provide opportunities for social comment, humour, sexual escapades and tragic drama.

CALLUM
It is often said that there are only 7 stories and if David and Goliath is one of them, then Callum is a story in that category.
Callum, a youth in 1967 upper-middle class New Zealand, is the David who has to fight the Goliath of a society that preserves the status quo at all costs even at the expense of its most vulnerable.
Specifically, Callum has to battle to bring into the light elder abuse, domestic violence and sexual abuse as he tries to save his grandfather, mother and friend.
Callum’s father is a man of power trying to distance himself from his roots as he climbs the social ladder. He is determined to settle a merger with another company but Callum’s grandfather is resisting because he feels it would result in a great many layoffs.
Callum’s father enlists the aid of a corrupt doctor and sexual predator who is protected by his status and who’s actions go unchallenged by the community.
Together they have Callum’s grandfather drugged and committed to an institution.
As Callum tries to rescue his grandfather he uncovers a history that has been hidden, defies his father and publicly calls out a community to acknowledge its hypocrisy and blindness - all against the backdrop off the Vietnam war and the feeling that the past is repeating itself.
Synopsis
LIAR’S TRUTH
[continuing from above]
Olivia [Luciane Buchanan*], a career cop and our heroine, joins the group as she follows a lead on the serial killer and finds herself drawn to the group in surprising ways as they fill a void in her life.
As Olivia and her work partner, Stan [Eka Darville*], work the case, their lives get entangled, even as Olivia finds herself attracted to a suspect Kurt [Shaun Evans*].
Olivia also finds herself surprisingly protective of Marshall [Teagan Croff”], a traumatised teenage girl who has found refuge with the group and a new identity that she is more than just trying on for size.
When Marshall disappears and a dismembered body of a young woman shows up, the slightly farcical style develops sinister undertones with the humour becoming progressively darker as the group slides towards something sinister.
The "loveable" yet villain of the series, Janus [Shane Jacobson*], uses the serial murders as a diversion, and the group as fall guys, for a murderous attack on his rivals by arranging a “Who done it?" mystery weekend that ends in carnage.
The group ends up taking the blame for being in a situation they can’t explain adequately and where they have no alibis - they don’t even know each other!
Meanwhile, Simon, the real serial killer [AnthonyStarr*] and one of the group, is enraged that his kills have been exploited. To him, his kills are macabre “artworks" that have now been sullied.
He takes Marshall to be killed spectacularly as his defining work.
Olivia and the group have only hours to save her.
