When Lt. General Joseph Campbell's (James Cromwell) daughter is found naked and murdered, Paul Brenner (John Travolta) and his old flame Sara Sunhill (Madeleine Stowe) are called in to investigate. Each turn in this tangled story reviews a sexual scheme and cover-ups that might go all the way to the top of the chain of command on the post. The truth behind what happened to Elizabeth Campbell (Leslie Stefanson) goes all the way back to her days at West Point. The things that happened there set forth a chain of events that begin to unravel even with the apparent guilt and possible suicide of her only friend. Was this just another coverup in a long string? Was the General involved? The tension between the investigators and their past relationship colors their views as they take on the task of finding Elizabeth's killer.



The naked corpse of Captain Elisabeth Campbell, daughter of Lieutenant General "Fighting Joe" Campbell, is found staked out on the urban warfare range of Fort MacCallum. Army CID detectives and ex-lovers Paul Brenner and Sara Sunhill are called in to investigate, and find themselves wrapped up in a maelstrom of sexual impropriety and misguided face-saving.

When a general's daughter, an army captain in psychological operations, is found murdered, two warrant officers are brought in to investigate. The young woman was staked down with tent poles, strangled, and presumably raped. But what the investigators find is even more bizarre, relating back to her days at West Point and involving the general himself and his aide. The daughter's one confidant also ends up as an apparent suicide and is assumed to be the culprit. Cover-ups and sexual scandals rampage throughout the film.

Paul Brenner, an investigator for the Army's Criminal Investigation Division, joins with his former flame Sara Sunhill, also an investigator, to uncover the truth behind the apparently ritualistic murder of a woman officer who also happens to be the daughter of the Commanding General of Fort McCallum, Georgia. Written by Jim Beaver {jumblejim@prodigy.net}




Military police detectives Paul Brenner and Sarah Sunhill investigate a horrifically bizarre rape and murder of a respected female Pysch-Ops officer who is also the daughter of a renowned retiring general. Yet the case becomes more complicated when the autopsy showed no evidence of sexual assault. Furthermore, that is but the beginning of the twists when they discover the victim's secret life, her past and a disturbing determination by senior staff to keep this investigation short and quiet.
