An in-depth investigation into the private world of the American writer J. D. Salinger (1919-2010), who lived most of his life behind the impenetrable wall of a self-imposed seclusion: how his dramatic experiences during World War II influenced his life and work, his relationships with very young women, his obsessive writing methods, his many literary secrets.

As stories unfold in a split-screen format, actors break into song, argue the merits of sentimentality and comment on the structure of the fiction they are inhabiting.
