Set in the cutthroat world of New York publishing, we follow Alice Harvey, the daughter of a powerful book agent, who finds herself trapped in a job as a junior book editor while trying to overcome her own writer's block. When Alice is unexpectedly asked to manage the re-release of a bestselling novel based on incidents in her own life, the book's author reenters her life and opens a door to painful memories from her past. Alternating between past and present, Alice must find the strength to face the troubling events she has kept hidden all these years and to make decisions that will ultimately dispel her demons. Helped by her best friend, Alice starts to find her own voice, trust herself once again and re-engage in life, love and becoming the writer she always longed to be.
