When Griff helps her, she asks if she could stay with Griff, and after she and Griff sleep together, she learns that he is a cop and that he has been following her, shattered Nikki shoots herself. Griff is then suspended from the force. But he is unaware that her partner-lover, Harlan, wanting to get back at Griff, is pursuing Olivia, who is vulnerable after hearing what happened between Griff and Nikki.

User Reviews

Playing with Guns Starts TROUBLE!

This is a very entertaining film and starts off with a horrible beginning and gradually advances into a deadly plot. Linden Ashby,(Griff McCleary),"Whacked",'02, is a detective who is having problems with his marriage and has drifted away from his wife(Olivia) and their romantic activities in the bedroom. Alexandra Paul,(Olivia McCleary),"A Woman Hunted",'03, is suffering from a loss in her family and meets up with Maxwell Caulfield,(Horlan Moss),"Submerged",2000 who fixes her car and seeks a romantic relationship. The plot twists and turns and you wonder just how the film will finally END! Good entertainment for a TV film!
