What happens when an apparently simple lie spirals out of control and leads to life-shattering consequences? Written by acclaimed screenwriter Danny Brocklehurst and starring a strong ensemble cast, Ordinary Lies shows how desperation can lead to drastic solutions, even in the most every day of workplaces. Set on the shop floor and in the offices of a motor showroom, this warm, compelling and often humorous series follows the stories of an ordinary group of colleagues and friends who, beneath the fun and banter, are struggling to deal with situations they're hiding from those around them. They may see each other every day, but do they really know each other at all? From the likes of Beth, still reeling from the mysterious disappearance of her husband and drawn into a relationship with married boss Mike, to heavy-drinking salesman Marty, whose desperate lie to save his job throws his life into turmoil, the gradual unraveling of each character's tangled web of lies results in revelations, shocks and stunning confessions that could change their lives forever.
