    "description": "<p>Attorney Billy Halleck seriously enjoys living his life of upper-class excess. He&amp;;s got it all&shy;&amp;;an expensive home in Connecticut, a loving family&amp;;and fifty extra pounds that his doctor repeatedly warns will be the death of him. Then, in a moment of carelessness, Halleck commits vehicular manslaughter when he strikes a jaywalking old woman crossing the street. But Halleck has some powerful local connections, and gets off with a slap on the wrist&amp;;much to the fury of the woman&amp;;s mysterious and ancient father, who exacts revenge with a single word: &amp;;Thinner.&amp;; Now a terrified Halleck finds the weight once so difficult to shed dropping effortlessly&amp;;and rapidly&amp;;by the week. Soon there will be nothing left of Billy Halleck&amp;;unless he can somehow locate the source of his living nightmare and reverse what&amp;;s happened to him before he utterly wastes away.</p>",
