A wistful, intimate portrait of two writers' unfulfilled connection in Depression-era Texas, built on shared imagination but ultimately undone by competing loyalties and unmet romantic hopes.

In 1930s Texas, pulp fiction master Robert E. Howard is introduced to Novalyne Price, a teacher with aspirations of becoming an author herself, and they begin a unique relationship filled with conversation and imagination. Although the possibility exists for romance, Howard's obsession with his work and dedication to his sick mother leads Price to look elsewhere for love, leaving Howard feeling betrayed and alone.
