A man arrives at JFK-Airport in New York on a cold November morning. In the airport bathroom he cuts his hair and changes his clothes. He owns a small and odd looking linen bound book. The printed pages are covered in notes, written in a woman's pale handwriting. He has carried this book for many years. He had no idea that it will bring his entire past into question.

Robert Fuschnig, a muscle-bound self-promoter in his late 30s, is known in his ever-growing internet community as Rob Fusion – a guy the girls fall for, a buddy you can steal horses with. On Facebook, he has a lakeside villa, expensive cars, and beautiful women. However, the reality is different: a sick mother, a job that bores him and no deeper contact with his fellow human beings.
