In the no so distant future, the booming biotech industry has just surpassed petroluem on the Fortune 500. Staggering increases in corporate crime have spurred waves of activist violence, even terrorism across the United states. Atop the biotech heap is Jerome William Wallace, and indomitable businessman holding the city of Cleveland hostage by its revitalized wealth and global status. When his empire is threatened by proposed  government legislation as well an anti-biotech terrorist cell, Wallace resorts to high-stakes blackmail and murder in order to protect it. Unfortunately, he gets far more than he bargained for when he marks college student Glenda Jameson as one of his targets. Xavier Clyde Hawkins is a suicidal, alcoholic, whose last good nights' sleep was two hours on a rusting park bench. Under an insane set of circumstances, he is thrust between Glenda and both hired and biologically cloned assassins sent by Wallace to hunt her down. However, when the couple suddenly become wanted for the killing of three of Cleveland's finest, they must outrun, not only the assassins, but the cops as well. Glenda decides that their only choice is to track down the missing scientist who may have tried to warn her from the beginning. A task easier said than done as they are forced to travel from one end of the country to the other and the man they seek is an accomplished recluse. Can the police, who want Glenda and Xavier, and the FBI who want the terrorists, find the link in their cases before it's too late?
