An isolated IRS agent whose every action is documented by a
ominous female voice discovers that his life is the subject of a book presently
being written by a best-selling author, whose creative block has prevented her
repeated efforts to kill him. Harold Crick (Will Ferrell) lives a life of
confinement. Kay Eiffel (Emma Thompson) can't seem to find a way to complete
her newest book. Though Harold and Kay have never truly come across one
another, their fates are about to become connected in a most bizarre manner.
With her publishers becoming increasingly impatient with her incapability to
put the finishing touches on her latest novel, Kay is assigned a new assistant
whose job it is to help provide the inspirational bump needed to get her book
finished and onto the bookshelves of her many fans. The subject of Kay's novel
is a lonely IRS agent named Harold Crick, who believes that his life has lost
any real meaning. As Kay continues Harold's catastrophic story without
realizing that Harold is actually a real human being unable to focus on his
life and career due to the constant interference of the narrator who in
explainably seems to anticipate his every action and read his every thought,
her continued attempts to kill her bewildered subject finally provide him with
the motivation required to fully experience life by toning out the source of
the voice that plagues him.
