Brief Synopsis

A ghost from Fraser's past arrives in Chicago and rekindles an old romance. Has this woman reformed, or does she have a dark plan to seek revenge?

Detailed Overview

The only woman that Fraser ever loved is the only woman who can destroy him.

Fraser, Ray and Diefenbaker get caught in the middle of a dangerous cat and mouse game between two bank robbers. At stake: the half million dollars never recovered from an eight year old bank heist. Somebody is going to take the money and somebody is going to take the fall. And it looks like it's going to be Fraser and Ray going down.

Fraser is haunted by a the image of Victoria, a woman from his past; a woman he believes he wronged; a woman he fell in love with but was duty bound to arrest. His nightmare dissolves when she arrives in Chicago and old flames are rekindled. Unfortunately, the two of them learn all too quickly how hard it is to run from your past. Jolly, Victoria's old partner, has followed her to Chicago believing that she has the half million dollars which was never recovered from a bank robbery the two of them staged many years earlier. He's intent on doing whatever it takes to get "his" money back. But the first one paying the price is Diefenbaker, getting shot defending Fraser's own apartment.

Fraser and Ray track Jolly, only to discover that he's one step ahead of them and is closing in on Victoria.
