Stephen Elliott, a writer with a penchant for Adderall, hits rock bottom when his long-absent father reappears, accusing him of inventing much of the troubled past that inspires his work. Caught in the uncertain realm of memory, Stephen finds guidance from three key influences: a budding romantic relationship, a close friend with a shared past, and a murder trial that eerily mirrors his own experiences. This narrative is adapted from the memoir of the same title.
