In Philadelphia, Ray is a physician, and his wife Miranda is an architect. They have a 13-year-old daughter Haley who writes for her school paper and is developing an attitude.
Ray's niece Christie is in college in Philadelphia. Her mother and stepfather wanted her to stay in Baltimore, but she doesn't get along with them. Christie is still bitter over her father's suicide two years earlier.
Christie has a nice meal with her family members. Haley thinks she's cool. She changes her tune once she finds out Christie is moving in; Christie makes Ray feel sorry for her by claiming she lived in a noisy but cheap dump. Actually, the truth is she was living in a nice old house with an old woman who sleeps a lot. And her room suggested she was a stalker.
To herself, Christie says Ray's perfect life is over. To help in her devious plan, Christie finds the social security number of a deceased person who would have been the same age as Selene, and with the information she can get online, she gives Selene the new identity of Jennifer James. Christie also persuades Ray to give her a job.
The movie's title pretty much gives away what happens next, but the specifics are interesting and the ending exciting.
I find no real reason to recommend this movie over others like it. At first no one can convince me they are not acting. But when she is scheming, Danielle Kind is quite good. Plus she's gorgeous. Anastasia Phillips is better when she's being sneaky, but not great when she's trying to be threatening.
It's still entertaining.
