Sam Follow, a down-at-heel private detective, gladly accepts a mission
offered to him by Mo', the head of a television and cinema company that
has a monopoly in the audiovisual arena in Europe. For two
thousand dollars a week, plus expenses, Sam must hunt down the missing
star actor Ned Collins. Famous for his screen portrayals of
driven lawmen in tough westerns, Collins suddenly reappears in a town
and begins imposing his own rule of law, unable to distinguish reality
from fiction...
In his letters to his friends and family, Franz Kafka gives us a rich self-portrait that is surprisingly upbeat, nor the angst-ridden soul we might expect.
