Mort Rainey is a successful writer going through a rather unfriendly divorce from his wife of ten years, Amy. Alone and bitter in his cabin, he continues to work on his writing when a stranger named John Shooter shows up on his doorstep, claiming Rainey stole his story. Mort says he can prove the story belongs to him and not Shooter, but while Mort digs around for the magazine which published the story in question years ago, things begin to happen around Shooter. Mort's dog dies, people begin to die, and his divorce proceedings with Amy continue to get uglier. It seems that Shooter has Mort over a barrel, but perhaps Mort has his own ideas on how to resolve all the problems that plague him lately.

Ving Rhames was offered a role but turned it down due to a scheduling conflict.

[Mort believes Shooter is in his bathroom and attacks with a fireplace poker]


Mort:
I killed a mirror.


Mort:
And my shower door.

Continuity: When Mort throws Shooter's hat on the phone, it clearly has a dent in it. When the phone rings from under the hat, there is no dent.
