Her putative victim is a high-profile ad man named Harrison Hill (Bruce Willis) who may or may not have murdered her best childhood friend. Her modus operandi is to assume a couple of false identities - among them an Internet chatroom tease. She is also plagued by bad dreams hinting that she was a sexually abused child...
