Is there any such thing as a harmless white lie? Silas thinks so when he lets the kids he meets on the Furman University campus think he is a fellow student. He figures he'll never see them again, and it feels good to be thought of as an "equal" to such intelligent and passionate young people. What could be the harm? Only Silas learns that even the smallest fib has a way of snowballing until it is an avalanche roaring down the mountain at you. He becomes entangled with the group, and things become even more complicated as he starts to fall in love with Kris, a relationship at once true but built on the kernel of a lie. Silas doesn't want to hurt anyone in the group, especially Kris, but he also doesn't want to lose the first friends he has ever really had in his life. He has put himself in an impossible situation and will have to find a way out while minimizing the emotional damage, even though someone is bound to be hurt. In the end, Silas is left with a question whose answer is not as easy as he used to think: is there any such thing as a harmless white lie?
