Fifteen years after surviving a violent police evidence depository robbery—an event he turned into a best-selling book—Meechum is struggling with severe writer's block following his wife's death. He is approached by Cleve, a suave but psychotic hitman who wants Meechum to write his biography. Cleve’s motive is revenge: he wants to expose his former employer, corporate magnate David Madlock ( Paul Shenar ), who has since built a "legitimate" business empire on the bodies of Cleve's targets.

As they travel across the country to verify Cleve's claims, the film explores the symbiotic relationship between the cop and the killer, suggesting they are two sides of the same coin. 1987 - Best Seller
