Laurie is afraid of pretty much everything: elevators, escalators, crossing the street, spaghetti covered in red sauce, loud voices and, of course, making a commitment to his girlfriend. His sister works at Global Safety Inc. and she is able to give Laurie a prototype of a recently developed safety system. Special software warns of impending danger, while the Safe Bracelet senses the wearer’s fear and calls for help. Is it possible that Laurie’s fears have infected the very system designed to protect its customers?
