The Doughnuts is the story of one epic summer in the early 21st Century and the mysterious alignment of a tenuously connected group of novelists, screenwriters, filmmakers, and detectives. As each of them grapples with the latest of life's adventures, their journeys and work collide in unexpected ways as they explore the challenges of creativity, self-doubt, fame, betrayal, romance, addiction, recovery, success, failure, mysterious disappearances, and the search for gluten-free doughnuts.
