Stream Of Lies: Book 1

By Gary G. Hayes Jr

Darius, Marcus, and Shawn have always been bound by one thing-music. It's their escape, their passion, and the one thing that makes life a little more bearable. But with no jobs and bills piling up, passion doesn't pay the rent.

Darius is struggling to keep his relationship afloat, his girlfriend growing distant as their financial struggles take a toll. Marcus can't keep up with child support, forced to watch another man step into the role he desperately wants to fill. Shawn is trying to hold it together as his father's health declines, feeling powerless with each passing day.

Then Darius has an idea-a podcast. A space where they can talk about music, life, and the struggles that keep them up at night. At first, no one listens. But slowly, the views start coming in. Then the money. And just like that, everything changes.

But success has a way of exposing the truth.

Darius's girlfriend is hiding something that could shatter him. Shawn's father has been keeping a secret that will change everything he thought he knew. And Marcus's baby mother, Jocelyn, has no idea that the man she's dating-Phil-isn't who he claims to be.

Then tragedy strikes Marcus, and their world is turned upside down.

As lies unravel and secrets come to light, the three friends must face the truth: some things were never meant to be heard. And in a world where everyone is listening, their biggest mistake might have been hitting record.
