Overview
Notorious for writing the most successful - and scandalous - scripts in Hollywood, hit screenwriter Laura Bardell suddenly finds herself implicated in a baffling series of film-industry killings.

To her horror, Laura realizes her script is coming to life - and turning her fictional words into homicidal reality.
