Warning: Spoilers
A very interesting 2012 story-line made even better by phenomenal acting, especially by Bradley Cooper and Jeremy Irons.

In this compelling film, Dennis Quaid gives a book review detailing a writer (Cooper) who at a young age makes it big in the literary world by writing a terrific book, only to have to come to grips with the elderly man who had written the book years before about his tragic life and had had the manuscript lost.

Irons in a tremendous performance is that man. He didn't ask for revenge or for monetary compensation. Dying, he wanted Cooper to come to grips what he had done.

You just sit there mesmerized waiting for more about the book to come out. A very good film expressing life's emotion, heartbreak and the coming to grips of circumstances which are sometimes beyond one's control.
