Jonah has never liked cops but because this is Boyd asking him a favor, he relents. But he doesn't expect that the cop Boyd would be assigning is his daughter. Furthermore he hasn't expected her to be an attractive and intriguing woman. However he keeps his distance off her as respect to the cop who has saved his life.

But the murderer wants Allison because in one of the stakeout, she has killed one of the perpetrators – the sister of the murderer. Now he wants revenge. Jonah makes Ally stay in his apartment until the case is solved. Using all his resources, Jonah tries to protect Ally before the murderer can get to her while Allison tries to catch both the burglar and the killer before he hits again.
