On the grim drought-withered mountains above Meriden CT, in the year 1999, Michael met the abyss. A writer was scribbling in a notebook, a look of fascination and terror in his face. "Gotta write. Twister likes this sort of place. Twister wants to be born." Michael tears it out of his hand and throws it over the cliff. But a book must be destroyed if it is to be prevented. Now a movie is being filmed from that script, a movie about a character named Twister, who is not merely demented, but evil itself. And the actors who portray him, all go mad....as if they were becoming Twister himself. Caught up in a game increasingly mad, in which the stakes are the very souls of the people involved, Michael realizes there is no way to win except to remain untwisted.
