Suspense novelist William Rhodes is suffering from a severe case of writer's block. Under extreme stress, William is unable to produce the novel that was due to his publisher weeks ago. When William's neighbor is murdered just feet away from his own boat, he finds himself being questioned by the police. Not only has William become a suspect, but Detective Sanchez points out that the murder was committed in the same fashion as one of the murders in William's first novel, "Midnight". While he concentrates on writing his book, the real killer has moved in next to him, leading William into a dangerous game of cat and mouse.
