At the age of twenty-two, Joel Zwilling is emerging as a literary wunderkind. He has published a successful first novel and his story about a widowed writer is about to be featured in a leading magazine. Yet just before the piece appears, Joel's real wife and daughter are killed in a car accident. He his left with a young son to raise, and a resulting writer's block as large and unmoving as a pyramid. Over the next two decades, Joel's career will be all but eclipsed by that of his son, Nate, whose own youthful writing success has given him the confidence to hope for big things. Thus Nate is astounded -- and jealous -- when his father is approached by a slick director who wants to capture his tragic early work on film. As the filmmaker and his sensual assistant bedevil father and son, the retributions rain down upon both sides.
