As Carly and Zeke continue their affair, two more residents are killed in mysterious circumstances in the Sliver building prompting a police investigation; Carly is warned to be careful in her daily activities to avoid being a victim of a suspected serial killer. Looking back into the history of the murder victims, Carly discovers the previous tenant of her apartment was having an affair with Zeke and was stalked by Jack; Carly realizes history may be repeating itself with her own romantic life. During her affair with Zeke, Carly uncovers his deepest secrets, including the fact he is the owner of the building and has set up surveillance cameras in each apartment. Eventually Carly must unmask the killer from the choice of Zeke or Jack.

Although the production of Sliver was received with mixed reviews, the film did make a large profit at the worldwide box office.
