His well-ordered world is turned upside down, however, when he begins to hear a woman’s voice narrating everything he does and thinks. Enlisting the help of eccentric literary professor Jules Hilbert (HOFFMAN), Harold struggles to come to terms with the idea that he is in fact a character in an as yet unfinished novel.

Meanwhile, Karen is struggling to overcome writer’s block and finish her story. Only one question remains: how to kill Harold Crick?
