The psychiatrist and host of the radio talk show Talk Line, Dr. Sonny Blake, returns to Rosewood Lane, in Stillwater, one year after the death of her father to live in his house. Sonny was raised with brutality by her father and is a traumatized woman that was submitted to therapy by Dr. Cloey. Sonny's boyfriend, the DA Barrett Tanner, helps her to bring her things to her new home. On the arrival, her next door neighbor advises Sonny that the paperboy is a dangerous weirdo. Sonny finds that the paperboy has broken in her house and might have killed her father, but Detectives Briggs and Sabatino do not believe on Sonny and think that it is her imagination. When Barrett is attacked and is missing, Sonny and her friend Paula Crenshaw call the police but he is not found in the house. Is Sonny freaking out or is the paperboy an evil being?
导演也许是想表达一个深刻的主线思想，不过不得不说手法有待提高。哦，对那些指着别人说你们看不懂就是s13的人，只能送你们两个字，无知。喜装X人士勿入。看的我云里雾里~。没办法、像我这种浅薄的人都是看不懂这么高深的电影的。吐槽＠(￣-￣)＠不值得推敲的片子。一步前言不搭后语的电影，BOSS的一句话可能是该片的线索。惊悚片不等于不靠谱。人吓人 更可怕。意境非常深的电影。这个电影如果没看懂的话，就是这个导演厉害之处！。
