Stuart Bailey meets and begins mutually to fall for nightclub singer Karen Shay. Their meeting is not as accidental as Karen initially believed as she eventually learns that Stuart is a private investigator who was hired solely to locate her. She took on the Karen Shay moniker to escape in, and she is really Kathy Allen, having witnessed a high-profile murder of a star witness in a criminal investigation, and was previously willing to testify as she knows she can visually identify the killer who tried to kill her as well. She ran when she discovered that police protection was not enough of a safety net as a further attempt was made on her life while under that police protection. It isn't until these revelations come to light that Stuart believes he has been duped and that he has been hired by the killer so that he can finish her off for good. Stuart not only has to protect Kathy but discover the identity of the killer himself, whom he cannot identify from their one and only brief meeting. This case may be more difficult for Stuart as the killer has hired a crazed hit man to do this job, and he too has never met his employer face-to-face, and as the nature of the killer's day job ,lets him hide in plain sight.
