An ambitious detective tries to draw a forensic psychologist out of her self-imposed exile to help catch a murderer who is copying the crimes of other serial killers.
Holly Hunter and Sigourney Weaver star in this white-knuckled thriller about a police detective, an agoraphobic criminal psychologist, and a ruthless serial killer imitating the crimes of his heroes as a murderous Copycat. Fear and death plague San Francisco when one man commits a series of murders, each different, each the re-creation of the work of an infamous serial killer. Now, two women--one an ambitious police detective (Weaver), the other a brilliant criminal psychologist (Hunt) whose previous case has left her terrified--must penetrate the killer's twisted psyche before he murders again.
