In a desolate corner of Maine, Erika Breen (Shelley Hack), a blind woman, has found a way to make a living quietly, operating the switchboard at a local hotel. But her tranquil days are brought to a halt when the resort is bought by investors and closed for renovations. On Erika's last night on the job, a psychopath (Kim Coates) takes up residence, killing the caretaker and, upon discovering Erika's existence, hunting her down.
