Plot – When Allison “Allie” Jones discovers that her fiancé Sam Rawson has cheated on her with his ex-wife and lied to her, she breaks off the engagement and kicks him out of the house. Since she is afraid of giving in to the temptation to forgive him, Allie puts an ad in a newspaper to find a girl with whom to share her nice rented apartment. Among the aspirants, she chooses Hedra Carlson, who appears shy and insecure and who shows admiration for her beauty and for her skills as a software designer. Hedra, who is actually a dangerous psychopath with a difficult past, suffers from loneliness because of her missing twin sister, who died as a child. Hedra now seems to find in Allie that missing sister and clings morbidly to her, trying to prevent her from rebuilding her relationship with Sam, hiding his letters and erasing his messages. She also wears Allie's clothes, uses her perfumes and behaves possessively towards her. At first the two flatmates seem to get along fine, but things soon change.
