Plot Synopsis

Based on the book, "Whisper of Fear: The True Story of the Prosecutor Who Stalks the Stalkers," by Rhonda B. Saunders and Stephen G. Michaud. Frustrated with the judicial system's indifference towards stalking cases, ambitious A.D.A Julia Winston is determined to establish a task force charged with tracking and prosecuting predators before they harm or kill their victims. However, Julia's boys club of bosses dismisses her concerns as trivial and repeatedly rebuffs her efforts. Meanwhile, recently hired detective Diane Harkin faces similar resistance from fellow officers in her new precinct when she discovers numerous unsolved stalking cases. But for Diane, the fight to change the system is personal. She herself is on the run, having fled a violent ex-husband who won't rest until he catches up with her and their young son. Crossing paths on an especially harrowing case of a woman terrorized by an obsessive former lover, Diane and Julia find common ground and form an unlikely partnership to tackle the case. But the two soon realize that to beat stalkers at their own game, they can't play strictly by the rules, and that bringing these criminals to justice means both Diane and Julia must put their careers -- and lives -- on the line.
