Investigating the disappearance of a supermodel during a Hawaii photo shoot, reporter Ben Hawkins hopes to help the victim and gather material for his next best-seller but receives a shocking visit that compels him to make a dangerous deal.
Experiencing their worst nightmare, the parents of Kim McDaniels--a ravishingly beautiful swimsuit model--receive a phone call from a sinister man informing them that their daughter has fallen into the wrong hands. Without a moment's hesitation, the McDanielses are on their way to Hawaii, where Kim was on a photo shoot. Also arriving in the tropical paradise in search of Kim is Ben Hawkins, a successful L.A. journalist and crime novelist. His motives are careerist for coming, but he is soon swept up in a frightening pursuit of a demented killer.
