Financially stretched San Franciscan couple (Melanie Griffith and Matthew Modine) buys a Pacific Heights property with a plan/need to rent out the rooms but when their tenant (Michael Keaton) turns out to be a creep who hammers at night, toys with razorblades and stares creepily at people through his car windshield, a long, dry Tenant's Rights case study ensues, one that becomes only slightly more interesting towards the end of the movie when the landlords and tenant engage in a cat and mouse game (with the movie making the mistake of assuming you'll side with the inept, unsympathetic landlords).
