Summary
Spencer Grant is a guy with a contaminated, yet hazy history who teams up with Rocky, a lovely dog, on a mission to find a life with Valerie Keene, whom he meets in a nightclub.
When Grant and his dog return to the club, they discover that the woman is late for work. When Grant attempts to locate her at her house, a SWAT-style force bombards the area, confusing Grant. Grant is now on a mission to find Valerie.
In Las Vegas, he hunts for her and is chased by a covert federal organization that is also hunting for Valerie. He is hurt when he is caught in a storm in the Nevada desert. Valerie saves him and treats Spencer's injuries.
Meanwhile, the major antagonist is Roy Miro, a high-ranking official in the agency who has been seeking for Valerie for months. He and the government utilize a satellite to track down Spencer and Valerie in the desert.
Roy and some agents board a chopper and pursue them into a retail mall. Spencer and Valerie hijack a helicopter and travel from Nevada to Colorado to visit Spencer's childhood home.
Spencer was 14 years old when he heard a disturbance in the night and went out to the rear barn to investigate. Spencer discovers his father abusing a lady inside the barn, and he finds a revolver but only wounds his father. His father was later sent to a psychiatric institution.
Roy visits Spencer's father in the hospital and then goes to Colorado to face Spencer and Valerie.
Spencer's father shoots Roy in the barn, barely paralyzing him. Spencer then fatally kills his father as he and Valerie exit the barn.
They utilize a satellite heat beam to disable the other agents before fleeing the house and establishing a new life together by assisting a rebel organization against the government agency.
