Stacey moves in with the Nobles, the family who invented the game, in an effort to protect them from the killer. The mother is kidnapped, and Stacey believes her lover is the killer and the kidnapper, but when the lover kills himself after the father is murdered, it becomes obvious that the real killer has not been caught. Stacey and Spencer, the detective she is falling for, find the mother and the daughter, who had gone missing later, just in time to save them from the killer.
