A terrorist leaders teenage daughter, Betsy, is sent to kill Jake and eliminate him as a possible witness. When Jakes mother blames his head injury for his tales of attempted murder, he has to rely on his girlfriend, Laurissa, to help him escape the killers and the law enforcement agents convinced that Jake himself had a role in the crash.
