Ever since the World Trade Center fell in New York, Richard Stern has been obsessed with terrorists. On his own, he became a vigilante. He wasn't trained; he wasn't authorized. His career as a self-made bounty hunter was his little secret-until the FBI found out and decided to hire Stern as an informant. His newly hired secretary, Lindsay Wagner, is sexy and well-informed. With her help, Stern is able to infiltrate deeper into terrorist cells. Their proximity to danger brings them close to each other, and soon Wagner and Stern are in a romantic relationship. Even so, Stern has his issues; he's an alcoholic. While undergoing detox, he comes up with a theory: terrorists are planning to attack a nuclear plant on Lake Erie. It's hard for the FBI to believe these ravings, but with further investigation, they realize Stern's suspicions are actually true. Now, Stern and Wagner must prepare for the battle of their lives. Wagner keeps Stern's alcohol addiction in check by distracting him with sex; Stern stays sober in order to stop a group of madmen set on nuclear destruction.
