The play focuses on the relationship between famous novelist Franklin Woolsey and his secretary Myra. After Franklin dies in the middle of dictating his next novel, Myra continues to write the novel.

The question becomes whether Myra is stealing Franklin’s legacy or might she possess a gift the world cannot understand. Add a jealous widow into the mix and the result is a romance meets mystery meets ghost story triangle
