Synopsis

It’s a sweltering Miami summer, and a serial killer has returned to haunt the city. Ambitious Tribune reporter Ingrid Sorenson is assigned to cover the story and her primary source is brusque homicide detective Rick Gonzalez. The pair spar as Ingrid wants more details for her big story, while Rick seeks to keep her at bay. Their clashes, however, also ignite sparks of passion. Breaking all professional rules, they risk their careers to give in to mutual desire. But as tension ratchets up over the murderer’s increasing body count, renewed mistrust of each other’s motives wedges them apart. Is Ingrid using Rick to gain bigger headlines? Is Rick carrying out a long held grudge against journalists? Then as a raging tropical storm breaks, Ingrid gets a tip that leads her straight to the crazed killer’s lair. She and Rick must both choose between furthering their careers and rescuing their love.
