Επί πέντε ολόκληρες ημέρες, ο δημοσιογράφος του περιοδικού Rolling Stone, Ντέιβιντ Λίπσκι, παίρνει συνέντευξη από τον διάσημο νοβελίστα Ντέιβιντ Φόστερ Γουάλας, μετά την έκδοση του επικού μυθιστορήματος του δεύτερου, Infinite Jest, το 1996. Οι ώρες και οι ημέρες περνούν, μια έντονη σχέση αναπτύσσεται ανάμεσα τους. Ακόμα όμως κι ανταλλάσσουν γέλια και απόκρυφες σκέψεις, ποτέ δεν είναι ορατό το πόσο ειλικρινής είναι ο ένας απέναντι στον άλλον.

As novelist Jovana Fey attempts to check into the first hotel of her 3-week European book tour, she learns that her publisher has gone bankrupt. Penniless and stranded, she decides to continue the tour regardless.
On the eve of her 70th birthday, Canadian writer Margaret Atwood set out on an international tour criss-crossing the British Isles and North America to celebrate the publication of her new dystopian novel, The Year of the Flood. Rather than mount a traditional tour to promote a book's publication, Atwood conceived and executed something far more ambitious and revelatory--a theatrical version of her novel. Along the way she reinvented what a book tour could (and maybe should) be. But Atwood wasn't selling books as much as advocating an idea: how humanity must respond to the consequences of an environmentally compromised planet before her work of speculative fiction transforms into prophesy.
