A successful writer finds his life falling apart; he is hated by his ex-wives, alienated from his friends, and suffering from severe writer's block. His problems are directly linked to his habit of mining the lives of everyone he knows for his fiction, portraying them in unflattering ways. As he drives to receive an honorary degree from his former college, he reflects on his failed relationships and the blurred lines between his art and his reality.
