Max Perkins meets The Social Network in a Manhattan editor’s office, where a thousand-page slobber of prose from an unknown writer lands on his desk. He gambles his reputation shepherding the manuscript into literature despite the author’s erratic brilliance. A forgotten typewriter keeps the pages alive.
