A once-prolific and celebrated writer has withdrawn from the public eye and stopped writing. When a podcaster and admirer of his work interviews him about his creative process and his very first short story, he is forced to confront the secret behind his extraordinary body of work.
What begins as a conversation about literature and inspiration turns into a confrontation with his own past — while also opening up the possibility of an artistic rebirth.
