Raised in an atmosphere of violence and unpredictability, Ellen and Gail Morgan have banded together, survivors of a booze-fertilized battleground, forming a fierce united front against an often cold and uncaring world. When
their parents are killed in a car crash, Ellen becomes the mother figure for Gail.
When fifteen years later Gail is brutally raped and murdered in her shabby New York basement apartment, practically on the eve of her big breakthrough as a singer, Ellen is inconsolable. Rage at her younger sister's murder has nearly consumed her. So when her work as a psychologist wins her an appearance on the evening news, Ellen seizes the moment. Staring straight into the camera, she challenges the killer to come out of hiding: "Why don't you come after me? I'll be waiting for you."
Phone calls flood the station, but all leads go nowhere. The police investigation seems doomed to failure. Then it happens: a note, written in red ink, slipped under the windshield wipers of her car, 'YOU'RE IT.' Ellen has stirred the monster in his lair . and the hunter has become the hunted!

SOMEONE WAS STALKING HER. NOW HE'S FOUND HER...
When artist Katie Summers emerged from a four-day coma, she remembered all
too vividly the horror of that night - the terrifying dead eyes that had
stared back at her in the rear view mirror, causing her to crash her car.
But nobody believed her. Even the enigmatic and disturbingly attractive
psychiatrist, Dr. Jonathan Shea, implied that she had made the whole thing
up. Or dreamed it.
Released from the hospital, still weak from her ordeal, Katie took a taxi to
her remote farmhouse on Black Lake. Darkness had already fallen. There was
only the wind in the trees to greet her...and the cold and empty house.
But the house was not quite empty. Something awaited her, upstairs in her
bedroom. Something with cold, dead eyes...
