Following the death of a minor league write, a mysterious woman whose own past is full of contradictions is called in to investigate his life and to discover the lost manuscript of his memoirs, lest they incriminate people in high places. Her journey of discovery becomes a dazzling and confusing exploration of the nature of autobiography and the awfully grey zones between truth and the art of fiction. As she encounters all the women who knew him, she realises every one has a different story to tell and the only thing they have in common is that the writer loved them all. So who was he really: A man who was addicted to women? A romantic? A compulsive Don Juan? A serial adulterer? A pornographer? A lost soul? A liar? Does the book he is believed to have written even exist? With every new revelation comes more questions.
