2000s: Priory or purgatory?
What you need to know before your trail
When literary reprobate Foster James wakes up in a strange country house, he assumes he’s been consigned to rehab (yet again) by his dwindling band of friends and growing collection of ex-wives.
But he soon realises there’s something a bit different about this place – surreal even, and when he gets punched in the face by Ernest Hemingway….well he wasn’t expecting that!
What on earth is going on? After an acrimonious group therapy session with writers such as Hunter S Thompson, Colette, William Burroughs, and Coleridge, plus a one-on-one session with Dorothy Parker, things are not about to get any more explicable.
Is this rehab, a trap or something all together more strange?
