Working as a bodyguard for a wealthy, spoiled federal witness, Joe Pike hatches a desperate plan to disappear with her into the underworld of Los Angeles and reveal her would-be killers, an effort in which he enlists the help of private investigator Elvis Cole. Together, the two men discover a web of lies and betrayals, but as the body count rises, the biggest threat may be from the girl, who will destroy herself unless she learns the value of life and love.
