Two well-known authors find themselves blizzard bound in a small New England Inn. Without power and no contact with the outside world, the two rely on the old art of conversation to occupy their time. They send that time talking about writing and both detail the effort in getting their first books published. The first effort by one of them was "The Ultimate Challenge," the story of a former football star being coxed into what turned out to be more than his new love promised. The other's initial offering involved the adventures of a young man, the son of one of the wealthiest men in Europe. He was faced with the decision to follow his father's wishes or establish his own goal. His decision surprised even himself.
