In "Two Talented Bastids," the long-hidden secret behind the protagonists' skills is revealed. "Danny Coughlin's Bad Dream" depicts how a brief psychic insight disrupts countless lives, particularly Danny's. "Rattlesnakes," a sequel to Cujo, follows a grieving widower who seeks solace in Florida but encounters an inheritance fraught with complications. "The Dreamers" features a taciturn Vietnam veteran who answers a job ad, only to discover some mysteries of the universe are best left untouched. "The Answer Man" questions whether foresight is a blessing or a curse, illustrating how a life filled with tragedy can still hold meaning. King's unmatched ability to surprise and evoke both terror and comfort shines through in each story, making them feel iconic.

Claire Keesey, direttrice di filiale di un istituto di credito di Boston, viene presa in ostaggio durante una rapina. I banditi sono quattro: Doug, Jem, Gloansy e Dez. "Fanno banda" sin dai tempi della scuola, e oggi sono rapinatori affiatati, precisi, spregiudicati e inafferrabili. Sono cresciuti insieme a Charlestown, un quartiere di Boston dove "guadagnarsi il pane" equivale a svaligiare una banca. Ma Doug, il cervello della banda, non aveva messo in conto che, insieme con una montagna di quattrini, dal colpo in banca si sarebbe portato a casa anche un cuore ferito. Gli sono bastati pochi attimi per innamorarsi di Claire. Continua a pensarla, dopo la rapina: sa dove abita, la segue, fa in modo di incontrarla, di sedurla.
