In 1982, Theresa Saldana is an American actress living in West Hollywood suburb. When her mother calls from New York City and tells Theresa that she got a call from director Martin Scorsese's assistant about a role part in Europe, her husband, Fred Feliciano (Adrian Zmed), is concerned that this will again require her to go on location, requiring another separation. In reality, the call actually came from a stalker, trying to get her address which Theresa's mother unknowingly provided. Theresa takes precautions, but on March 15, 1982, when she leaves her apartment by herself, she is attacked and stabbed multiple times by deranged fan Arthur Richard Jackson (Philip English).
