Thad Beaumont is the composer of a highly successful series of barbarous pulp thrillers written under the pseudonym of'George Stark', however when he determines to'kill-off' his or her alterego at a mock ceremony, it precipitates a string of sadistic murders fitting those inside his pulp novels, which are soon regarded as the job of Stark himself. Looking like a maniacal model of the counterpart,'' Stark isn't therefore willing to quit the writing game -- even if it means coming after their baby along with Thad's wife.
