After finding a manuscript of a novel in an old desk drawer, David Kern couldn’t resist the temptation and took credit for authorship. First of all, he wanted to impress Marie, the girl he liked very much, and he didn’t expect his game would go so far: fame, money, readers’ adoration, endless interviews, and autograph sessions. Not a soul could have imagined that David was only a fraud—someone who was most afraid that the real author of the novel would appear.
With every step he moved farther away from the point where he could still change course, confess everything, and become himself again. He understands that payment is inevitable, and all he can do is hope that the price of his deed won’t be too high.
