And though Hemingway knows that his findings may very well determine whether Jack lives or dies, he doesn't have a clue that the book is going to be about him.Over the next four days, Jack and Hem not only knock around Key West but they also travel to some more of the legendary author's old haunts. Together the two meet up with many of Hemingway's long gone friends and have some rollicking good times.

That's not all. After their time together ends is when things really get out of hand.
