Underhill is dead, but he just wont shut up.
Nelson Underhill, one of the greatest (and most infamous) writers of the 20th Century has been dead for years, but he still haunts his daughter Maggie, a writer he fashioned in his own image.
Tasked with keeping the Underhiil legacy, and her gun collecting younger brother Ian, alive, Maggie hires one of her writing students, Kady, as a personal assistant.
When Kady discovers the untitled first draft of Nelsons most famous novel, family secrets are revealed that have buried for years, begging the question, just how far will Maggie go to protect the Underhill legacy?
