Jack King is the eldest in the care home. A prodigy of imagination, always telling fascinating stories, but recently suffering from extreme fatigue and lack of motivation. Then comes Mike, a young orderly who will help restore Jack's spirit and his much-loved library, a place fallen into disarray and near abandonment, certainly not unrelated to the sinister pestilence lurking on its shelves... A fictionalized tribute to JACK KIRBY, to the men who better took care of his work, and to others who suffered the same creative and editorial constraints throughout their careers.
