The premise
Peter Derns, an executive at Mrs. Appleby's Cooke Company, fears his future prospects are crumbling fast, until the arrival of Kris Bolin, a gorgeous, cooly efficient temp - and sultry temptress - who helps him develop a marketing campaign that slays the competition. But after two executives mysteriously die, Peter discovers his job security may vanish due to the one person he needs to trust: his temp.
Horror Vault's take
When a charismatic and unnervingly capable temp arrives at a struggling cookie company, she seems like exactly the career lifeline that anxious executive Peter Derns has been waiting for. Her razor-sharp instincts rocket them both up the corporate ladder — but as colleagues begin meeting untimely ends, Peter can't shake the feeling that his new ally may be his greatest threat. This early-'90s office thriller trades boardroom politics for creeping dread, wrapping a serial-killer mystery inside a polished corporate veneer. The closer Peter gets to the truth, the more he has to lose.
