Paper and Ink highlights the powerful bond presented in long-term friendships as six characters age into their thirties, their shared force a ritualistic book club, and a handful of libations. As the group subsequently becomes threatened by an unknown source, Ellie Monroe, a researcher at the Natural History Museum finds her office ransacked and the artifacts of her research missing. As a reward is posted for the missing pieces, the group searches for the priceless artifacts unveiling adultery, blackmail, and answers to why they are being threatened.
