In 1929, in New York City, Maxwell Perkins is a successful editor at Scribner’s and discoverer of great authors such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway.

He lives in a « cottage »—actually, a mansion—just outside the city with his wife and five daughters.

One day, in his office, he reads the drafts of O Lost, a novel by Thomas Wolfe. Struck by the content, Perkins decides to publish it and begins to collaborate with the author. It is eventually published as Look Homeward, Angel and proves to be a commercial success: 15 thousand copies sold in a month.

Perkins and Wolfe become best friends, while Wolfe’s relationship with Aline Bernstein, a married woman 20 years his senior, is severely tested after the novel’s publication. Max manages to publish Wolfe’s successful second novel, Of Time and the River, after several years of exhausting revision.

Wolfe is in Paris where he follows the events remotely, thanks to news received from Perkins. On his return to New York, he immediately goes to work, writing his new book. His turbulent character leads him to quarrel with Perkins, destroying the relationship between them, resulting in Wolfe turning to another editor.
