The movie is directed by Jefferson Kibbee and is based on a novel by the same name written by Carolyn Wheat. The movie revolves around the character of Sara Alston (played by Markie Post), who is a successful author and a single mother. Sara is leading a peaceful life until she receives an anonymous phone call that changes everything. The caller on the other end of the line informs Sara that her ex-husband Jack (played by Don Swayze) is in danger and that she must warn him. Sara is initially skeptical of the call, but she decides to take action when Jack turns up dead the next day.

Sara becomes embroiled in a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse as she tries to find out who is behind Jack's murder. The prime suspect in Jack's death is his business partner Peter Barlow (played by Corbin Bernsen), who has a history of violence and shady business dealings.

Sara is determined to bring Jack's killer to justice, and she enlists the help of private detective Jack Mize (played by Greg Evigan) to assist her in her investigation. But as Sara and Jack dig deeper into the case, they discover a web of deceit and corruption that threatens to destroy them both.
