Patricia Crandall is a wealthy divorcee who is convinced someone is trying to kill her. The police don't believe her, so she approaches Jayce Cooper, a former investigator, police officer and soldier, known for his skill. Cooper accepts Patricia's offer to hire him as her bodyguard. He does not believe she is being stalked but thinks the job will be quick money. He soon realizes he is dead wrong.
