When Dorine is called into the office late one night to help demanding writer Gary Michaels (David Thornton) fix his computer she is shocked when he is electrocuted trying to jimmy the wires. To assuage her loneliness Dorine decides to take the dead body home to the basement of the house where she lives with her mom. When chain-smoking publisher Virginia (Barbara Sukowa) commands Dorine to team up with the pushy Kim Poole (Molly Ringwald) to re-write Gary's lead story in time for press, Dorine decides to add to the dead bodies in her basement and Virginia's body joins Gary's. In the meantime co-worker Norah Reed (Jeanne Tripplehorn) has taken a liking to Dorine actually befriending her but Dorine has already decided she needs more friends at home to join the ever-growing collection of co-workers and strangers who have crossed her path. When computer tech Daniel (Michael Imperioli) gets suspicious over the disappearance of the work force and investigates things come to a head.
