The Resident Agent Mitch Stern

Ex-FBI agent Rob Lawson is serendipitously asked to escort Melissa Simmons, a young widow, to the execution of her husband's killer. He is attracted to Melissa and agrees to go. At the execution, the convict makes a point to deny the Simmons murder. The execution proceeds as scheduled. Rob was not convinced by the denial, but offers to look into the matter as an excuse to see Melissa again. The rudimentary inquiry becomes a growing investigation into the victimizing of hundreds of people, causing difficulties with the FBI and with the local police, threatens witnesses who thought they were safe, puts Melissa in danger and a target on Rob's back.
