Taylor Armstrong's struggle for identity in the literary world is interrupted by a visit from his recently-deceased novelist father Andy, in whose shadow he has always floundered. Andy arranged two special and mysterious bequests before his death: a generous cash gift to his alma mater, and a briefcase full of secrets for his son.
