Contract Dates: October 6 – November 9, 2025

Truth is stranger than fiction when a famous romance novelist veers off the road in a winter storm and wakes up incapacitated in the home of his “number-one fan”. Unexpected events turn his number-one fan into his number-one enemy and a heart-pounding life or death game of cat and mouse ensues.

(NON-EQUITY) Buster: (30’s 50’s — male or female, any ethnicity) Buster is a small town local sheriff investigating a report that the famous novelist Paul Sheldon may be missing somewhere in the community. Having been raised in a small town, the sheriff is very friendly, helpful and somewhat trusting. There are some physical demands (choreographed falling and being dragged) in this role.
