When William and Sam meet and his literary sympathy is as intense as their chemistry, both writers think they’ve found The One.But as in their own novels, things between Sam and William are not what they seem. William has multiple stalkers, including a scarily persistent one named The Rabbit. He lives on a remote Maine island, where his writer life resembles The Shining.
