Synopsis:
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.
