Spiral Staircase
A beautiful, mute Helen Capel (Nicollette Sheridan) takes a job as nurse to the ailing, wealthy Emma Warren (Holland Taylor) in the Warrens’ secluded island estate. Helen quickly fits in with the clan, including Emma’s loyal, art historian son Phillip (Judd Nelson), and the attraction between the two intensifies. However, the manor’s relative calmness is shattered with the arrival of Phillip’s brother Steven (Alex McArthur), a devil-may-care womanizer who has his latest girlfriend Danielle (Debbe Dunning) in tow.
Steven’s arrival strangely coincides with a brutal strangling murder that’s occurred in the nearby, affluent Westport community. Having gathered some overwhelming evidence, the town’s Sheriff comes to the Warren estate to pinpoint Steven as the prime suspect. Along with this suspicion, a tumultuous storm descends on the manor, stranding all of the occupants – with no phone, electricity or way off the island. First airs on Fox Family Channel 4/2/00 at 8:00-10:00 PM (ET/PT).
