"Look at the little rabbit, a young boy in an old man's cloak, he doesn't suspect a thing. In a way I do feel bad for him, for getting into this mess in the first place. It's really all my fault. I should have done something about this a long time ago. But then again, how could I have known?"

On a seemingly normal day J.D. Salinger dusts off his old typewriter and sets out doing what he should have done a long time ago. The moment he strikes the keys and brings his most famous character back to life, Mr. C wakes up in a nursing home with an unnerving compulsion to flee his present situation. He boards on a curious journey through the streets of New York. Sixty years after his debut as the great American antihero, Mr. C is yanked back onto the page by his creator without a goddamn clue why.
