Plot outline
Beth Raymond (Shannyn Sossamon) is terrified when she witnesses the deaths of two friends after they both received chilling phone calls, and the exact time and place they die. Beth reports this to the police, but they think she is delirious. Detective Jack Andrews (Edward Burns), however, believes her, stating that his sister died in a similar way. Together, they begin to unravel the mystery of the chain of calls, but are unsure if they can figure it out before Beth's phone starts to ring the same eerie tune.
