The shock of seeing her family slaughtered by knife-wielding serial killer Frank Tanner (Michael Gross), and her subsequent escape from his murderous clutches, has caused Gilda (Melissa Gilbert) to have amnesia. In an effort to start a new life, Gilda becomes the nanny to the son (Matthew Lawrence) of Mike (Jack Scalia), a handsome businessman in the process of divorcing his wife. Mike and Gilda become romantically entwined, and Mike takes it upon himself to discover who she is -- or was. Meanwhile, Tanner slays several others who are unfortunate enough to resemble Gilda in his unceasing efforts to find her -- his daughter.
