Dan Moller is an unsuccessful author living with his dentist wife. A dentist himself, Dan has no room in his head for anything but his work and its inexplicable failure to find acceptance. One day, two Americans arrive at his door anxious to buy his side of the correspondence he has had with the mysterious author JD Salinger. They have a price in mind but can Dan really sell these treasures. Perhaps he should visit the United States and find out what Salinger himself thinks.
