When Simon's attempts at finishing his next novel are constantly interrupted by inappropriate deliveries and unsolicited phone calls, he takes revenge. His motto? Don't mess with me, I'm a writer. As he keeps on fictionalizing people who have angered him, he realizes that his stories are more powerful than he thought - they are influencing reality. A neighbor dies; a woman loses her job; a car crashes. Will he stop before someone he loves is hurt or is it already too late? Can he unwrite reality? And where does his ex- neighbour's ugly dog fit into the story?
