The story

Lillian, a writer, struggles through revisions of her play with her mentor and lover, famed author Dashiell Hammett, at a beach house.

Later, during the Nazi era, Lillian, now a celebrated playwright, is invited to a writers' conference in the USSR.

It is a dangerous mission, especially for a Jewish intellectual on her way to Russia.
