Additional information
Near a gray and unnamed city is the Zone, an alien place guarded by
barbed
wire and soldiers. Over his wife's numerous objections, a man rises in the
dead of night: he's a stalker, one of a handful who have the mental gifts (and
who risk imprisonment) to lead people into the Zone to the Room, a place
where one's secret hopes come true. That night, he takes two people into
the Zone: a popular writer who is burned out, cynical, and questioning his
genius; and a quiet scientist more concerned about his knapsack than the
journey. In the deserted Zone, the approach to the Room must be indirect.
As
they draw near, the rules seem to change and the stalker faces a crisis.
