As the COVID pandemic rages on, its residents are doing their best to cope with uncertainty, lockdowns, and constant change. With more time on their hands, the residents have switched their focus from socializing and commuting to work to sprucing their gardens, working from home, and adopting dogs. Each neighbor, with different personalities and quirks, has rescued an animal to ease pandemic woes. But there is only one problem. Their shared interest in dogs has not only united them, but also created unforeseen conflicts. But as the economy starts to surge to life again, neighborhood gossip and unexpected canine conduct escalates discord between the neighbors, resulting in a tragedy that changes everything. Leashes, Love, and Lies is a riveting tale of the joys, the unexpected, and the heartbreak of dog adoption during the COVID pandemic.
