Storyline

Gary, an actor who plays a cop on television, uses too much lighter fluid when he burns his ex-girlfriend's things, then he drinks and drives, uses crack, and crashes his car. He sobers up in jail and is placed under house arrest and the watchful eye of a publicist, the cheery and tough-minded Margaret. She moves him into the empty house of a writer who's away in Canada on a shoot. Gary meets Sarah, an attractive and seemingly-willing neighbor. His friendship with Margaret blooms and strange things happen: he finds notes he doesn't remember writing, he hears noises, and he seems to bump into himself in the kitchen. Two remaining chapters reveal what's going on. Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>

Trivia

In "The Prisoner" the paintings behind Gary when he is eating show the numbers 7 and 2 which add up to 9. See more »

Goofs

Revealing mistakes: When Gary puts the disk into the player piano and watches the hammers strike the strings, the music does not remotely follow the sequence of the hammers - lower notes are struck by the hammers when higher notes are heard and several notes are heard completely off time with the striking of the hammers.
