The protection of his home is quickly disrupted by a slew of unwelcome company — an insistent supply employee, a pair of Mormons on a mission, a refrain of scrounging associates, and the ominous determine of the property’s groundskeeper. Issues are made worse by the unending telephone calls from his Supervisor and the presence of a Personal Investigator and Superfan stalking close by. Blake responds by hiding and disassociating from his environment.
Because the chaos round him reaches an apex, a ghostly apparition or a magician seems earlier than Blake providing him a method out — within the type of a bullet. Ultimately, Blake is left alone with nothing to confront however himself. Realizing he’s existentially trapped, he chooses to finish all of it, and together with his dying, the final days are over.
