In the fictional town of Castle Rock, Maine, a riveting and eerie tale unfolds as a man grapples with a mysterious affliction that unexpectedly unites a divided community. Scott Carey, seemingly unchanged, is inexplicably losing weight, and his peculiar condition—he weighs the same in and out of his clothes—leads him to confide in Doctor Bob Ellis. Amidst this personal struggle, Scott finds himself in a low-grade conflict with his neighbors, a lesbian couple whose dog frequently relieves itself on his lawn. While one neighbor is friendly, the other is distant, and their attempts to open a new restaurant face resistance from the townspeople, who are reluctant to accept a gay married couple. As Scott confronts his own prejudices and learns about the challenges they face, he seeks to offer help. The story explores unlikely alliances, the significance of the annual foot race, and the mystery surrounding Scott's condition, revealing the potential for growth and understanding in a community marked by division. This poignant narrative serves as a joyful yet bittersweet reflection on overcoming differences, echoing the timeless themes of hope and connection.
