A once-renowned novelist is stuck, unable to find inspiration for the next great book. Their stories, once full of life, now feel hollow and repetitive. In search of new ideas, a sharp-minded investigator is brought in to help with research. But what begins as a simple professional arrangement quickly takes a turn neither expected.
The investigator, known for their ability to solve complex real-world cases, quickly realizes that the writer's creative struggles are the least of their problems. Strange occurrences in the publishing world begin to surface, drawing them both into a web of intrigue and danger.
Through the twists and turns, their connection grows stronger, forming an unlikely bond in the face of looming threats. The line between reality and fiction blurs, leaving them both questioning who they can trust.
