'If you've missed Laymon, you've missed a treat' Stephen King Rick would do anything for his girlfriend, Bert. Even spend his vacation in the wilderness of Fern Lake - though after what happened last time, it's the one place he'd rather not go. But Bert is a woman with a passion for the outdoors - and for other things too. Rick would follow her to hell and back - which is what he's about to do, because they're not the only ones heading to the lake.
