A world-famous pulp action writer and a Pulitzer-Prize winning novelist both seek a quiet place to finish their latest books and salvage their careers. They decide to return to the place where they first found success. Unfortunately, it’s the same place, and they’ve double-booked it.

SYNOPSIS:

Can two seemingly ultra-successful people be happy doing something they hate?

Years ago, Kate won a Pulitzer prize for her novel based on her grandfather's journey to America. To help save the family publishing company she needs to recreate that success with a sequel, but she struggles to write something that her heart isn't into.

Ryan, a wildly successful writer of adventure fiction, grapples with the fame and notoriety he abhors, all the while struggling to write his next novel that's years past its deadline, and his five million dollar advance is about to be called back.

Both writers, unable to make any progress, go to the one place they've found success before - The Steinbeck House in Pacific Grove. Unfortunately, through a mishap, they both end up double-booking the writer's retreat. They are as opposite as the genres they've both found success in, and now must coexist in a small house, and find a way together to save her family's business and his reputation.
