A reader sits down to enjoy a new novel, but the pages are mysteriously blank. Undaunted, he seeks out the original manuscript, plunging into a meta-fictional maze where reality and fiction blur. As he navigates a web of authorial identities and nested narratives, he confronts his own role as a reader and the nature of storytelling itself. Will he ever find the story he set out to read?
