"When billionaire Felix Worthington invites the five cast members of the TV show A Little Slice of Haven to re-create their roles twenty-five years after the show's cancellation, they're initially skeptical. It's an unusual request, even for a self-professed superfan like Felix. For several of them, playing a member of the Barlow family in the small town of Haven in the 1940s was an experience best forgotten. Meri Wetzel, who played a loving wife and mother, has spent the last two decades avoiding her TV husband, Jeff. And the actors who played their children each harbor festering resentments of their own. But living in a re-created version of the town in a Montana warehouse has its appeal--despite knowing they'll be filmed with hidden cameras as they improvise with actors playing the townspeople. And the clincher? Two million dollars for each of them, provided they stay all ten days and remain in character the entire time. One by one, they set aside their hesitations and agree to the terms. After all, with two million dollars they'd be set for life, and really what could go wrong?"
