In 1964, an aspiring screenwriter visits silent-screen legend Jun Nakayama, who retired from films forever in 1922. The screenwriter, Nick Bellinger, wants Nakayama to come out of retirement, but Nakayama has his reasons for wanting to stay out of the limelight. Nakayama remembers his short, brilliant career, and the terrible crime that ended it. Revoyr bases her story on real events, blending fact and fiction seamlessly and giving the reader a unique new perspective on Hollywood's cruel history.
