Synopsis: A group of friends and a woman named Julie (Tisa Farrow) they pick up along the way find themselves stalked by a cannibalistic killer on an island.

Cat Burglar (Scene Stealer): Seeking shelter in the home where Julie was to care for a couple’s daughter, Julie and Daniel (Mark Bodin) hear strange noises and investigate. In the cellar they find an old piano. Suddenly a tiny tabby kitten drops down out of nowhere with a Poor Cat Screech in Spring Loaded Cat fashion onto the keys.
