Zachary Benedict's life, love and Academy Award winning acting/directing carrer is shattered when a real gun is substituted for a fake on the set, and he ends up killing his adulterous wife. He escapes from a Texas prison, abducts Julie Mathison and ends up falling in love with her as he holds her captive in a mountaintop masion in Colorado.
Julie, who was adopted by the Mathisons at a young age, has spent her entire life trying to make herself perfect in the eyes of her loving family. Her feelings for Zack scare her, but she knows that she has fallen in love forever. The trouble intensifies when Zack, unwilling to hold Julie captive, lets her go back home. Julie is determined to uncover the truth about the murder Zack is accused of and in the course of her haphazard investigations, she meets his grandmother, who convinces her that Zack has always been violent - perhaps mentally ill. Julie betrays Zack's whereabouts to the authorities after they promise to treat his 'mental illness', but suddenly, the true murderer is discovered and Zack's name is cleared. Now, Zack believes Julie to be a betrayer, and wants nothing to do with her. Can Julie go back to her 'perfect' small-town life as if Zack had never come into her life? | ||
