Ray falls for a mysterious woman who hits him with her car. Unfortunately, she disappears after dragging him to safety. Desperate to find her again, Ray learns that she may be a gun smuggler...or is she?

Detailed Overview

When Fraser decides to stop and give some friendly advise to a man parked by a fire hydrant, the man surprises them both by drawing a gun and speeding away. Ray gives chase but is quickly stopped by a reckless hit and run driver. Badly hurt and lying unconscious in the middle of the street, his life is saved by a mysterious beautiful woman.

When the man's car is recovered, the trunk is found to contain a huge stock of illegal automatic weapons. The police department springs into action, establishing a 24 hour a day stakeout of the man's apartment. But Ray is shocked when the first person to enter the place is his mystery woman. And when she easily beats the hell out of two cops, Ray realises that the woman of his dreams is an arms dealer.

After an unbelievably bold daylight robbery of a National Guard Armoury, in which things go from bad to worse for Ray as the love of his life tries to kill him, Fraser and Ray triangulate the woman's cell phone like they'd track a caribou. The search leads them to a farmhouse where a kiss and a bottle over the head leads to a car chase through horse paths and ravines. Finally, Ray and the arms dealers face off in a little game of chicken: a forty ton army truck vs. Ray's 1971 Buick Riviera. All of which culminates in a lesson for Ray -- when it comes to love, nothing is ever as it seems to be.
