Synopsis

Former CIA agent turned bodyguard, Frank Farmer, is hired to protect singing superstar Rachel Marron. Her life is under threat from a disturbed stalker who will go to any lengths to terrify and kill the singer. However, Rachel is initially unaware of her predicament and she clashes with Frank from the start. They each expect to be in charge, but what they don’t expect is to fall in love. As anger turns to passion, Frank finds his role compromised and he realizes that he must call time on their burgeoning relationship in order to do his job effectively. Despite the star’s heartbreak and anger, Frank puts his own life on the line in order to protect Rachel and her young son, Fletcher. After killing Rachel’s sister in a case of mistaken identity, the stalker takes one final chance to murder Rachel. Frank must rely on all his instincts to save the life of the woman he loves.
