Briggs Sheridan is not that bad a guy, but he's going to have to fake it if he wants to survive the next four days. He owes Mr. Reggie fifty grand and it's time to pay up. Mr. Reggie has a solution, though . . . a job. All Sheridan has to do is complete one simple task and he will make it through the week with all of his body parts intact, as long as the job doesn't kill him first. Based on the story by Stephen King.
