Nearing burn out, the career of Miami reporter Malcolm Anderson (Kurt Russell, Escape From New York) is rejuvenated after an article detailing the unsolved murder of a local teen brings him notoriety as well as an unexpected and unwanted fan: a man who claims he's the murderer. Striking an uneasy collaboration with the killer known as the ''Numbers Murderer'' (Richard Jordan, Interiors, A Flash of Green), Malcolm is provided with deadly details in exchange for ongoing stories. The unorthodox collaboration soon takes a surprising twist when the murderer turns his attention to Christine (Muriel Hemmingway, Manhattan), Malcolm's girlfriend.
