Description
Don't visit the Round House after dark... When they were children, Sam and his friends ignored the warnings of old Injun Willie and entered the abandoned Indian pueblo. Sam emerges in perfect health, but now has hallucinations and must learn how to stay in balance to avoid bursting into flames, like sleeping in the precise center of beds, standing between things of equal size, keeping coins in each pocket, and never ever touching anyone.At seventeen, Sam is forced to leave town. Six years later he returns home to find his girlfriend Lori—he finds her, only to discover that she is engaged to marry Sam’s worst enemy, the former town bully, Rose. Now running drugs, Rose plots with his father, Okwalla’s corrupt judge, to frame Sam. The plan goes horribly wrong when Lori’s wheelchair-bound younger brother, Ralph, drug-addicted by Rose, decides to visit the Round House to perfect his health, unleashing a contagion of spontaneous human combustion on the corrupt small town.
