This sparks another small discussion weater or not Scott should seek medical aid, but it's concluded that they best keep this information secret since it's unlikely anyone can help Scott, and he has made peace with his fate.Īs Zero Day approaches faster and faster, Scott's decreasing weigth and corresponding weithlessness begin to hinder him in his daily activities. Scott also invites Bob and his wife Myra, and tells all of them about his condition. Scott's good sportmanship also earns him the respect from Deidre, and she decides to have dinner at Scott's anyway despite having won the wager. In the following weeks, the restaurant is booked full pretty much every evening, and as a result, the townspeople gradually warm up to Deidre and Missy. This act is largely featured in the news the following day, and finally gives the restaurant the promotion it needs. When they reach the finish, a heavy rainstorm starts and Deidre falls, but Scott helps her back on her feet (during which Deidre experiences a moment of weightlessness) and allows her to finish first. He makes a wager with Deidre that if he wins, she and Missy will come to have dinner at his home so they can talk things over. Even though Scott gets off on a bad foot with 2 ladies due to their dogs defacating on his lawn, he eventually decides to stand up for them, although not everybody in town appreciates his decision, and Deidre actually warns him to stay out of the matter.ĭeidre, who is an experienced runner, signs up for the annual Thanksgiving Turkey Trot 12K run to promote their restaurant, and Scott does the same, knowing his weight loss will give him an advantage. They run a small restaurant named Holy Frijole, but face bankrupcy since the summer is comming to an end, and the locals refuse to eat at their place due to the prejudices the community has against lesbians. Scott’s new neighbors are a lesbian couple named Deidre McComb and Missy Donaldson. He keeps a calendar on which he marks the day he expects to reach 0 pounds (which he names "Zero Day"). He urges Scott to seek professional help, but Scott wants to finish a big project first and has no desire to become a medical curiosity. Scott confides in his friend Bob Ellis, a retired doctor. Even stranger he weights the same even when fully dressed and holding heavy objects. Despite this weigth loss, he shows no physical changes, has a good appitite, and actually feels better than ever. Scott Carey, a divorced website designer living in the town of Castle Rock, finds himself affected with a strange condition he gradually loses weight every day.
