Shanklin Franks is a pathological liar and has never once told the truth his entire life. It seems there is no limitations as to the kinds of stories, most often about himself, that Shanklin will tell and stories he of course expects the people he tells them to, to believe. In many instances people refuse to listen to him any longer and Shanklin has difficulty maintaining friendships and holding jobs. That is until he discovers people not unlike himself, who not only like listening to Shanklin's lies but who encourage him to do so.
