Genre: Thriller, Comedy

Running Time: One hour and thiry minutes

Original Format: 35 MM

Synopsis:
Hannah Davenport is having a "good news, bad news" kind of day. After fifteen years of unanswered questions, a stranger appears in the haunted village of Harper's Ferry, and might be the father she never knew. That's the good news. The bad news is that he might also be a raving killer.

You see fifteen years ago there was this All-American hunk named Billy Sunday who was dating the high-school social queen, Hannah Jones. Well, it's graduation night and Hannah decides teenage break-up is in her cards. After all, "How could she ever marry a man who could only put quarterback on his resume?"

If timing is everything, then Hannah Jones made the wrong moves at the wrong time. Immediately after Billy proposes, Hannah unties the knot. As they go their separate ways, she adds insult to injury by refusing to relinquish the necklace.

Needless to say, Billy's heart was shattered, leaving him in deep need of some sort of consolation. Enter Doreen Davenport, neurosis on high heels, and Hannah Jones' best friend." Like any circling vulture, Doreen takes advantage of Billy's newfound single status and has a bit of a romp in the back seat of his red Camaro. Before the steam could evaporate off the windshield, Billy disappears like a Blue Jay on a Friday night.

Hannah Jones vanished as well only to resurface several years later from the bottom of the Potomic River in Billy's red Camaro. Yep, one waterlogged body minus a head and a very expensive gold necklace.

So now it's fifteen years later and Doreen Davenport has her own Hannah. Leave it to Doreen to name her lovechild after the victim. Young Hannah is witty, manipulative, and a self-proclaimed Alfred Hitchcock nut. Like "Hitch", Hannah lives by the motto, "We all live in a world were anything can happen and probably will!" So you can imagine her interest when William Sunday, of New York City, a sophisticated writer with a most unfortunate name, moves in Harpers Ferry.
