A man returns to his home town after serving a prison sentence for homicide, and finds that the details of the crime have been forgotten and replaced with local legends and rumors.

After serving time for murder, Josh Hutton returns to his home town where me meets Audry Hugo. No one can remember exactly what Josh did, but they are all wary of him, especially Audry's father.—Tom Unger <unger@raindrop.seaslug.org>

After serving in prison for manslaughter, Josh (Robert John Burke) returns to his home town looking for a job as mechanic, the profession that he learned in prison. Meanwhile, the teenager Audry (Adrienne Shelly) is accepted by Harvard, but her father Vic Hugo (Chris Cooke) cannot afford and suggests her to go to the community college. Audry leaves home, dumps her high-school boyfriend and stumbles upon Josh. Audry indicates her father Vic's auto repair shop and Josh find a job with him. Audry has an immediate crush on Josh, but is rejected by him that is afraid to lose his job with Vic. She decides to move to New York to be a successful photographic model. When her parents learn that she is posing nude, Vic sends Josh to New York to bring her back. But secrets are disclosed affecting the lives of Josh and Audry.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Josh has been released from prison, serving time for murder. He returns to his home town. His crimes are exaggerated and no one is entirely sure how many people he has killed! Audry's father gives him a job as a mechanic ("Is he good?" - "Sooooo good!") and Audry falls for him. The Umbelievable Truth is a comedy which makes use of its wonderful (sorry!) dialogue.—Matthew Stanfield <mattst@cogs.susx.ac.uk>
