Plot Overview
On his day off, Chris meets a fetching photographer and makes a date with her for later in the day, neither one aware that a mystery man is following her. When he goes to meet her, Chris is stunned to see her being pushed off a cliff to her death and gives chase to the killer, only to suffer a concussion when a bullet grazes his head. He's unable to recall the events when he wakes up the next day in the hospital, but an inadvertent second blow brings it all back. Chris visits her apartment, only to find that she's very much alive, having had to rush out of town for a family emergency, and that a visiting friend was the one who was killed. They discover from her undeveloped photos that she took pictures of a notorious political assassin who's in town for a job. Once the target is discovered, they have to race to prevent an innocent man from being killed.
