Eddie Collins and Carla Rizzoli, his significant other, are involved in a drive-by shooting on Hollywood Boulevard. Subsequent investigation leads to the suspicion that the incident may have been an attempt to prevent him from testifying against four pornographers, whose arrest several months prior was the result of Eddie's investigation. While working on the film "Burnt Hills," Eddie's suspicions are magnified when an actress he's working with in a scene is hit by gunfire. He's convinced he's the target, and his belief is confirmed when he and his associate, Reggie Benson, are kidnapped and taken up into the high desert with the intent of killing both of them.
