Plot

Jerry Blake (Terry O'Quinn), a man with an unwavering dedication to family values, embarks on a chilling quest for the picture-perfect family. He weds a series of widows and divorcees blessed with children, hoping to find the flawless domestic tableau. But his utopian dreams shatter when his new family members reveal their human frailties, refusing to conform to his rigid, robotic ideals. Unable to tolerate such imperfections, Blake's dark side emerges, culminating in their horrific murders. With chilling ease, he alters his appearance, assumes a new identity, and migrates to a different town, ready to repeat his lethal cycle. His next unsuspecting bride is Susan Maine (Shelley Hack), who views him as the perfect father figure for her rebellious teenage daughter, Stephanie (Jill Schoelen). As Stephanie's defiant nature begins to surface, Blake is once again compelled to resort to his sinister ways. This ominous tale of a man's deadly pursuit of domestic perfection is as captivating as it is terrifying, reminding us that even the most ordinary faces can hide the darkest secrets.
