Synopsis

The judges for the prestigious Elysian Prize for Literature face the daunting task of selecting the year's best book from hundreds of submissions. Among the hopefuls are the brilliant but complicated Katherine Burns, the earnest debut novelist Sam Black, and Bunjee, who is convinced his 'magnum opus' will win.

Chaos ensues when a cookery book is accidentally submitted in place of Katherine's novel, a judge becomes embroiled in scandal, and Bunjee, furious at being overlooked, seeks retribution. This witty satire explores the challenges of recognizing true talent in a world obsessed with celebrity and personal agendas.
