De rustige achterwijk New Salem wordt geterroriseerd door een seriemoordenaar die jonge vrouwen ontvoert en martelt. Hij houdt ze één week gevangen voordat hij ze vermoordt. Aubrey Fleming, getalenteerde pianist en ijverige schrijfster, zou zijn laatste slachtoffer zijn. Terwijl de dagen voorbij gaan, probeert de FBI de seriemoordenaar zo snel mogelijk op te sporen. Even later duikt er een gewonde jongedame op, die eruit ziet als Aubrey, maar beweert dat ze de stripster Dakota Moss is en nog nooit van Aubrey gehoord heeft... (Belga Films)

At first glance, the script has several problems. The first - and biggest - is the dialogue. In some scenes, they are incredibly stupid, which significantly diminishes the impression of what the viewer is watching. In the end, the dialogues are not even performed particularly well. The second problem is the insertion of completely unnecessary scenes for effect. And these scenes aren't even particularly good or genuinely effective. Couldn't Lindsay at least take her clothes off? What the film manages to do reasonably well is maintain suspense, as for a considerable time you won't know what's happening. That's good, because there's not much else to interest you. Then it all comes down to the twist and how it is executed. Unfortunately, even that isn't groundbreaking, and the film shows that it lacks any structure leading up to the twist. It's as if they just shot in the dark, and it happened to make a bit of sense by chance.
