SYNOPSIS:
Acclaimed writer John D’Agata submits a groundbreaking essay to a struggling New York magazine. The kind of essay that could save the magazine from collapse. Demanding editor Emily Penrose assigns fact-checking duties to Jim Fingal; a fresh out of Harvard intern. The result is a gripping battle of wits over what constitutes a fact and what defines poetic license.
