An unctuous, smooth-talking divorce attorney's propensity for propitious prevarication may wow the juries, but his five-year-old son Max wants an end to the lies. So when Dad blows off the boy's birthday bash with yet another weak excuse, Max wishes his dad to spend a whole day incapable of lying. And lo and behold, the wish comes true, with hilariously disastrous results in the courtroom.
