Cary Scott's remarkable life story of spectacular good fortune, mixed with soul-crushing abuse, is frankly unbelievable.

Even to Cary himself.

In a series of disturbing, unfiltered monologues, Cary unburdens himself of his memories -- of being raised by a psychopathic single mother who was abandoned by her gay husband, of becoming the target of a pedophile, of becoming morbidly obese, followed by quack treatments that boomerang him alarmingly into anorexia. Cary recalls being a bullied gay teenager who literally crucifies himself with a hammer and nails to get out of gym class. From a psych ward, he finds himself instantly famous after an unintentionally homoerotic poem he wrote for a high school assignment finds its way to becoming the #1 pop song in the nation. In the years that follow, Cary's life nosedives again and again, yet he always finds himself rescued by bizarre deus-ex-machina occurrences.

All these tales, however, are placed into doubt after his former therapist is accused in the media of implanting false memories in patients. Cary is labeled a pathological liar in a national magazine cover story.

Refusing to believe that his exceptional life never actually happened, Cary creates a grotesque, secret, museum to himself filled with artefacts of atrocities and miracles which prove that his memories are true -- but is it only a museum of lies?
