Storyline

Wanda (Sellecca) is a con-woman whom the NYPD arrested and convinced to help them nail a criminal. What she didn't expect was that she would have to testify at his trial, and even more was that his trial wouldn't take place for a few more years. So, they send her to Palm Springs, where she would be placed in the employ of a Security Agency, PSI, Palm Security Inc. Accompanying and protecting and watching her to make sure she doesn't runaway is Joey (Evigan), a New York cop. They pretend to be a married couple Cody and Dani Powell. Upon arriving Dani suspects that one of the town's leading citizens kidnapped or killed a girl who's having an affair with her husband and at the same time is searching for a multi-million dollar winning lottery ticket.

I was totally in this movie..wheres my credit

Hey, I was in the pilot for this CBS show...wheres my credit...OK, so I was an extra, but sooooo.... This was filmed in and around the city of Palm Springs, California. I remember riding the bus to school and seeing them film down my street and around my town. Funny when I saw the final show, I didnt know my house connected to all the hot spots in Palm Springs, seeing hows I live 20 miles outside of the city....in post anything is possible. Anywho, I was the boy in the tram ride when Connie Seleca and Greg Evigan realize there is a bomb on the tram.... I am such a stud!
