Michael Evans, whose wife has recently killed herself, is the owner of a high-tech health club. Michael's wife possesses the club's computer control systems and begins using the club's exercise machines, dumbbells, and other equipment to murder the club's members.
According to director Michael Fischa, "the health craze had blossomed in LA. [Health clubs] came up like mushrooms. So quickly that they went out of business. So we thought, basically, we turn it around and we have a ghost in our health club. That could be a fun scenario".
