Famous romance author Paul is rescued from a car crash by his "number one fan.” As Annie nurses Paul to health, her obsession takes control. What begins as a rescue quickly turns into a dangerous entrapment as Paul writes for his life. Experience the horror as Stephen King's chilling thriller comes to life on stage when a fan will stop at nothing for the sequel of her dreams.
The run time is 2 hours and 30 minutes, including one intermission.
