A mystery novelist (Roger Moore) models his fictional villain on a convicted criminal (Malcolm McDowell). After the inmate apparently dies in a fire, he escapes and murders people in ways that echo the author’s books, seeking revenge for the theft of his identity. The writer can’t convince the police, but a psychic‑gifted fan (Nancy Allen) helps set a trap for the killer.
