While recording sound effects for a slasher flick, Jack Terry stumbles upon a real-life horror: a car careening off a bridge and into a river. Jack jumps into the water and fishes out Sally from the car, but the other passenger is already dead — a governor intending to run for president. As Jack does some investigating of his tapes, and starts a perilous romance with Sally, he enters a tangled web of conspiracy that might leave him dead.
A sound technician accidentally captures a fatal political assassination hidden within the layers of a recording session. He must use his sensitive microphones to piece together a conspiracy that the official police report refuses to acknowledge.
