Line 35: The story takes place in the fictional town of [[Castle Rock (Stephen King)\|Castle Rock]], [[Maine]], the setting of numerous King works, and revolves around two local families. The narrative is interspersed with vignettes from the seemingly mundane lives of various other residents. There are no chapter headings, but rather breaks in between passages, which indicate when the narration switches to a different point of view. The principal characters are the Trenton and the Camber families. The middle-class ~~Trenton family~~Trentons have recently moved to Castle Rock from New York, bringing with them their four-year-old son, Tad. Father Vic discovers that his wife Donna has recently concluded an affair. In the midst of this household tension, Vic's fledgling advertising agency is failing, and he is forced to travel out of town, leaving ~~his wife~~Tad and ~~son~~Donna ~~behind~~at home. The blue-collar ~~Camber family~~Cambers are longtime residents; Joe is a shade-tree mechanic who dominates and abuses his wife Charity and their ten-year-old son Brett. Charity wins ~~the~~a ~~state~~$5,000 lottery prize, and uses the proceeds to inveigle Joe into allowing her to take Brett on a trip to visit Charity's sister, Holly, in Connecticut. Joe acquiesces, secretly ~~plans~~planning to use the time to take a pleasure trip to Boston. Cujo, the Cambers' large, good-natured [[St. Bernard (dog)\|St. Bernard]], chases a wild rabbit in the fields around their house and inserts his head in the entrance to a small limestone cave where a rabid [[bat]] bites him on the nose and infects him with the virus that causes Cujo's madness in one day. Soon after Charity and Brett leave town, Cujo attacks and kills their alcoholic neighbor, Gary Pervier and Joe while he attempts to call authorities for help.
