Cynthia Hawkins is the operatic superstar whose refusal to make a recording frustrates her adoring public. A young fan named Jules makes a secret tape and is stalked by thugs who plan to blackmail the diva. Jules also accidentally acquires a tape which tells of a top mobster's role in an international sex and drug ring. He must escape the police chief, the cop's henchmen and the bootleggers to keep both tapes safe, and to stay alive. |
