A Whisper to a Scream

Harriet and her boyfriend Nick are rock musicians in their thirties, desperately trying to land a recording contract. Harriet hatches a plan to get the rich older bookworm, Jeremy, to fund them by stringing him along by pretending to love him. She even goes so far as to marry him, hoping for a quick divorce.

A gang of escaped convicts take over a farmhouse and hold the woman living there hostage. It turns out that her husband is a cop, who among other things is in trouble because he has accidentally killed an innocent girl.
