Plot

edit

Prison fugitive Trent McKormick exits an Amtrak from Mars, having escaped from Red Rock Prison. He is searching for Julie Meyers, the office woman who testified against him. Elsewhere, Detective Rick Castle is summoned by his boss, and learns about Trent's escape. He is assigned to protect Julie Meyers and bring in Trent alive. At the same time, a police officer enters Julie Meyers' apartment to secure the witness. Trent McKormick comes out of the shadows, and kills the officer before figuring out where Julie works. [citation needed]

McKormick, walks into Julie's office and stabs her sexually-harassing boss in the throat with a large knife. Rick finds the dead cop in Julie's apartment and races to her office complex. On his way to rescue her, Rick is attacked by a recently released ex-con. Rick is apparently responsible for the attacker's prison time. Rick knocks him out, dumps him in a garbage truck and races to Julie's office. [citation needed]

In a stairwell shootout Rick protects Julie from Trent. He takes her to the safe house and the two come close to having an intimate moment. While taking a bath Julie flashes back to the day that Trent vowed revenge. Meanwhile, Trent follows a police officer and kills him after giving him information on Rick's location. Rick takes to the streets in his Dodge Viper to search for McKormick. Rick meets an old friend from the police force at a cafe to see if he has any information. After leaving the bar, Trent brutally murders Rick's friend at a local playhouse. Trent ambushes Rick and the two of them fight at an old junkyard during a rainstorm. Trent taunts Rick during the fight and misses several opportunities to kill him. Julie emerges from the shadows and shoots Trent. She and Rick embrace and walk off. [citation needed]
