Description
Justine Poole takes her job as a security agent seriously. When she prevents a brazen theft at the Beverly Hills home of two of her clients - killing two of the five armed robbers in the process - she is initially lauded in the media as a local hero. But the spotlight soon puts her in the crosshairs of the crime kingpin behind the burglaries.
So begins a cat and mouse game featuring two characters who know more about deadly pursuit than anyone else in the business. As the hardened killer stalks her, Justine finds that public opinion can be every bit as fatal as organized crime...
