What Is The Man Who Quit Smoking About?
The premise of The Man Who Quit Smoking without spoilers.
Dante Alighieri, a young man who loves smoking, inherits $17 million from his late father on one condition: he must quit within 14 days and remain smoke‑free for a year, or the money passes to his uncle. Desperate, Dante hires the Little Secret Service, a private‑detective agency, to keep him from lighting up, while his uncle, now a smoker himself, schemes to tempt Dante back.
