ynopsis

Lee Grant portrays a very vocal feminist activist, whom Michael Ironside sees on a TV chat show; it is made immediately clear he despises her, and her televised remarks enrage him to the point where he decides to kill her. He breaks into her home and attacks her, though she is left only very injured. Once she is sent to hospital, he follows and begins stalking her again. William Shatner plays her love interest, and Linda Purl portrays a hospital nurse who befriends Grant during her stay. Much of the movie goes back and forth as Ironside stalks both Grant and Purl in several locations. Then during the climax, it's a showdown between the two leads: Grant and Ironside, at the hospital.
