Kim had never played opposite a leading man like Johnny Craig before. He was a handsome millionaire actor with an unsavory past she'd been warned about. But Kim had enjoyed playing opposite the handsome leading man. Even his unsavory past did not scare her away. But when their show closed, Johnny asked her to come to his old family mansion in Dark Harbor to play an even stranger role -- a paid professional acting job in real life, as his fiancee! At first, he explained that he merely wanted to test the loyalty of his real fiancee, Sheila. But then Kim learned about the ghost of a woman Johnny had once known... a ghost which appeared again and again... and heard some strange facts about Johnny. And Kim suddenly knew that what had begun as an acting challenge was now an exercise in survival -- for the hand of a murderer was at work!
