Description

A fearless reporter trapped in a volatile siege, two young lovers turned fugitive and a hold up that transforms a small desert town into a powder keg . . . TV reporter Tiel McCoy is driving to New Mexico for a well-earned vacation when she hears on the radio that Fort Worth millionaire Russell Dendy s daughter has been kidnapped. Calling her editor she finds out that the girl is pregnant, the kidnapper is the girl s boyfriend and that they may be heading, as she is, to a small town in New Mexico. She puts her holiday plans on hold to chase the story but as she stops for gas she gets caught up in a standoff at a gas station. If she survives she knows this will be the biggest scoop of her life. But as the night-long siege continues she is forced to put aside her reporter's impartiality and become involved . . . or lives will be lost.
