Clark brings a network news producer's sensibility to the story of a newsroom in the throes of anthrax-induced pandemonium... brisk dialogue and rapid-fire action sequences...the yam entertains with a little network gossip and a short lesson in bio-terror.
NO ONE BELIEVED HER
SHOCKING STORY...
Trying to mix business with pleasure, KEY Newscorrespondent Diane Mayfield has brought her children and her sister to the New Jersey Shore town of Ocean Grove to investigate a story on "girls who cry wolf" for the season premiere of Hourglass, television's highly rated news magazine.
UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN...
Diane lands an exclusive interview with a troubled young woman whose tale of being abducted and held against her will for three terrifying days was discredited by the authorities. No sooner does Diane finish taping the interview, though, than a second victim disappears.
AND AGAIN...
The small community, already in the grip of a record heat wave, is now wracked by fear and terror--no one knows who could be next. With only the first victim as eyewitness, Diane and the police turn to her for clues. But it may already be too late to save Diane and her loved ones from the mortal danger that lurks in Ocean Grove.
