**SPOILER ALERT** Overdone murder suspense/drama involving a former mental patient who ended up with a dead-end Job on the prestigious Oakville Tribune as it's obituary columnist.
Denise Wilcox, Josie Bissett,has been working at the Tribune's obituary desk for some three years when something big finally opened up for her. That's when veteran ace reporter Stanley Morgan, Bill Lynn, suddenly collapsed and died of a heart-attack with his job expected to go to Denise. It came as a big surprise that the person getting Morgan's job, as it's star reporter, at the Tribune was non-other then Denise's ex-boyfriend Simon Casteillo, Grat Nickalls. The person who drove Denise to attempted suicide when she, and Simon, was a teenager!
We learn during the course of the movie, in a number of steamy flashbacks, that Denise's mother drove her insane when she broke up her relationship with Simon. This lead to her , after an attempted suicide, to be committed to the Cliffcrest Sanitarium.
Recovered and out in the world Denise is now confronted with the very person, besides her mother, who was responsible for her mental problems Simon Castillo! Not only that it's Simon who got the job, with him just being hired, that she always wanted! This undoubtedly isn't going to help Denise's mental state which we soon see quickly deteriorate.
It's just about the time that Simon shows up to work at the Tribune that things really start getting weird for Denise with her receiving on her computer messages of people who died, by being murdered, before they actually did. One of those persons is a woman whom Denise discovered murdered in the park while she was doing her morning jog! It also happened that Denise possibly saw her killer who, running with a hood over his head, knocked her over while exiting the murder scene.
All these incidents lead to Denise's sever mental problems resurfacing with only the Tribune's mail-room boy the kind and understanding as well as sensitive Luke, Craig Olejnik, trying to help her. Luke seeing what all this strain is doing to Denise goes out on his own in trying to find out who's sending Denise these strange message that by the time the movie is over lead to the deaths, that the massages predicted, of some half dozen persons. The last massage that Denise got predicted the death, by being murdered, of non-other then herself that's to happen at midnight the very next day!
We the audience are really left hanging, like Denise, in this muddled made for TV movie. There's so many potholes in the story that you feel like your walking through a desert minefield. There's an occult angle, Kali or Indian Tugee, to the murders that completely falls apart in that the person who comes up with it, and should have know better, occult store owner Zara, Julia Chantres, ends up becoming a victim of it. Zara's untimely death, by hanging, seemed to be an effort by the movie makers to not only kill her off but put Zara's cockamamie theories to who's been doing the killings finally to rest.
