They were the perfect family. That's what made the perfect target. Five years after a wealthy Californian family is brutally murdered, a struggling writer moves into their abandoned home. When he attempts to revive their ghosts for his novel, he resurrects their killer as well.

Dylan McDermott (TV's "The Practice") stars as the young writer who will do anything for a chance at success. Sharon Stone (Bobby, Basic Instinct) is his ice goddess agent and lover. Tom Sizemore (Black Hawk Down) is the enigmatic stranger who terrifies McDermott by revealing to him what it's like on the other side or murder.
