Every artist is an unhappy lover. And unhappy lovers want to tell their story.
Ex-tax collector and author of two unpopular novels Bradley Pearson wishes to devote his retirement to writing a masterpiece.

And so, dusty, selfish Bradley is plunged into the muddles and mysteries that will end in his doom.
