The story: Wait Until Dark by Jeffrey Hatcher, is adapted from the Frederick Knott 1966 original play in a new setting of 1944 Greenwich Village where Susan (Taylor Jean Grady), a blind woman, lives with her husband Sam (Daniel Zubrinsky) in a basement apartment. While away on business, Sam unknowingly smuggles a peculiar doll into his home after a trip to Philadelphia. But when the doll goes missing, a woman is murdered, and a mystery begins to unravel that leaves Susan tangled up with a ruthless con man. A battle of wits ensues, and light becomes dark, as the tables are turned in a deadly game of cat and mouse - all leading to a jump-out-of-your-seat finish.
