Mark Lester (OLIVER) stars in this thriller as Ziggy, an 11 year-old with a penchant for telling tall tales who witnesses the assassination of an African president by two corrupt policemen. Because of his propensity for spinning tales, when Ziggy tries to tell people what he saw no one believes him, especially his exasperated family. However, when the two cops whom he saw commit the murder track him down and attempt to kill him, his parents realize that their lives are in danger and must find someone who isn't a part of the conspiracy to help them.
