''[['''Desperation]]''''' is a 1996 novel by [[Stephen King]] turned into a movie in 2006. It begins on Highway 50 in Nevada, a place some refer to as the loneliest place on Earth. A couple, Mary and Peter Jackson, are on their way back from a visit with friends when they are stopped by a sheriff who behaves strangely and discovers pot in their trunk, (accidentally left in there by Peter's stoner sister) and takes them to jail in the seemingly abandoned mining town of Desperation.
 
On the way there, he recites the [[Miranda Rights|Miranda warning]], only mixing "I'm going to kill you" in with it, which unnerves the couple.
Line 12:
Among the survivors is a boy named David, who seems to have a special connection and communication with God. With little time and little choice, the group must establish a chain and fight to survive against the growing evil. The miners [[Dug Too Deep]], and Tak, an Ancient Evil driving this nightmare, wants to play.
