Storyline
Burned-out Hollywood screenwriter, Bo Aikens, arrives in picturesque Black River, seeking relaxation and artistic inspiration. Initially, he finds it, along with romance in the arms of a beautiful architect. But when Bo becomes tangled in a nightmarish plot, preventing his return home, it suddenly seems clear that this perfect little hideaway captures more than just the imagination of its visitors.
