Plot

An impulsive act of bestiality from her distant past haunts Amy, an otherwise seemingly ordinary young woman with a bright future and nice-guy fiancé. But her fiancé has suggested that the couple be completely honest and tell each other everything. When Amy finally relents, encouraged to tell the truth by her co-worker and mother (neither of whom knows what she has to disclose), and reveals her secret at the home of her parents and misfit brother, all hell breaks loose.

After everyone learns that Amy gave her dog a bodacious derb, her life falls apart. Amy's fiancé dumps her in disgust and her parents disown her. She does begin dating a new man who doesn't know of her dark secret. After her mother dies suddenly, Amy makes up with her father. She then decides to never tell her new boyfriend about her disgusting, repulsive behavior, preferring to "let sleeping dogs lie."

UK release

The UK release was 16 March 2007.

The film has been renamed Sleeping Dogs for the UK release, dropping the "lie" part of the title which featured in the American release.
