In the exciting, anything-can-happen 1980s, Lisa Avery and her best friend, producer Nancy Padilla, are plucked from obscurity to be the new stars of Denver's top-rated TV news team; the women stand on the threshold of brilliant journalism careers. But when photographer Rand Oliver shows up to take promotional photos, their lives and those of their news team take an abrupt turn into the deadly world of international terrorism. As they begin to investigate events surrounding the rescue of a Denver corporate CEO from Central American terrorists, Lisa and her colleagues begin to uncover a series of events around the world that all point back to a shadowy presence headquartered in the Mile High City itself. Suddenly, Lisa realizes that the illegal activities she's probing involve her new boyfriend, the enigmatic Rand Oliver. Ultimately, both Rand and Lisa must examine their personal and professional values - and survive a very real threat that seems to be mindlessly killing their closest friends.
