Plot

Beth Knowlton (Langton) is a young art student who is majoring in photography at a college in Phoenix, Arizona. Stephen Primes (Burns) teaches law at the same university, and becomes infatuated with Beth at first sight. Beth is not impressed with Stephen's unwanted actions, and firmly tries to be clear that she is not interested in him, since she is already dating Kyle Kennedy (Woolson). Despite her refusals, Stephen persists, and begins telling people that he and Beth have become engaged to each other. This gains the attention of Beth's mother Martha (Cassidy), who tries (but fails) to find a legal manner for Stephen to leave Beth alone.

After a while, Stephen's stalking actions increasingly become awkward, when he leaves Beth cut-out notes and one day even attempts to strangle her in a darkroom. Martha encourages Beth to move in with her and they both press charges, but the police are unable to arrest Stephen without a sign of evidence. Immediately after moving in, Martha and Beth find their home burglarized and a message "Obey or die" written on their bathroom mirror. Realizing far Stephen will go, Martha sends Beth off to a relative in Denver, Colorado, where she can live under a fake name.

Stephen becomes enraged when he loses sight of Beth and becomes preoccupied with another woman named Elizabeth Knowlton, known as Liz (Jenney), who receives packages in her mail from Stephen containing threats and even a video of Beth. When Stephen attempts to break into her home one night, Liz sets out to track Beth after recognizing her from the video. They both join forces to catch Stephen in the act, using Beth as bait. Liz gives Beth a loaded gun, which Beth uses when she sees Stephen holding Martha and threatening to slit her throat with a knife. Beth fires a warning shot to scare Stephen, and he is finally arrested.
