Real estate agent Maceda once testified against drug trafficker Orosco. Now Orosco is out of prison, and Maceda has a problem. He flees, hiding out at a near-vacant California Central Valley inn where innkeeper Kat is happy to have him sign the register. His presence, however, arouses the suspicions of lone cop Gilchrist. Meanwhile, Fed agent Gere hopes to track Maceda before Orosco's thugs pick up the scent.
