Marty Allen is devastated after terrorists blast an airliner out of the sky; his wife was the captain. But as a reporter for a supermarket tabloid, he can¿t afford to stay in a funk for long. He is given a daunting assignment: determine whether a high-powered criminal defense attorney, an alluring woman, is a savage serial killer who always plants red lipstick kisses on her victims¿ cheeks. Marty initially investigates whether this same woman is the hit-and-run driver who killed his coworker¿s boyfriend. In the process, he agitates a police detective who would rather Marty stay out of her way. Meanwhile, Marty befriends a young Muslim woman who, much to his surprise, displays a romantic interest in him. Yet he fears she might be connected to the same terrorist organization that killed his wife. Marty will discover which of these women is hiding a dark secret, but only after an explosive night, when he is caught in a deadly ambush.
