When John White Eagle, a movie extra, agrees to some covert sex with Greg Mathis, the movie's star, he's not at all prepared for the repercussions. Alone in a motel room—apart from a dead body—he finds himself to be the only suspect, but a sympathetic cop, Mark Rossi, agrees to help him clear his name.
The two men quickly discover a mutual attraction, a situation that is thrown into jeopardy when some incriminating evidence points to John's guilt. John persuades Mark to let him confront the move star face to face in order to extract a confession from him, but John's plan goes wrong.
Will he be the next to die, or can Mark reach him in time to save him, and their relationship?
