Synopsis

In the backscratching, backstabbing world of CanLit, rumours are rife that Canada’s pre-eminent man of letters is about to win the Nobel Prize, so why does his former friend and admirer want to kill him? A love-struck acolyte, a nosy critic, a dyspeptic agent, and a missing manuscript contribute to the twists, turns, and laughs.

“A very funny comedy drama with a strong element of suspense” – CBC
