Squalor

Late in life, a popular and prolific mystery writer finds himself unable to write a word.  For reasons he can’t fully explain, he returns to his hometown where he strikes up a relationship with a local high school teacher, a Young-Adult novelist in her own right. As their connection develops and they reflect on the events of their lives, we learn with these characters that living life while making art is no simple undertaking, and that mystery can play a larger role in an informed, meaningful life than we might have imagined.
