American criminal profiler and author James McGregor (Charlie Sheen), who is trying to escape his past by moving to Scotland, where he receives a fax of a stranger's obituary. The next day he is arrested and charged with the stranger's murder, forcing him to collaborate with the local authorities if he wants to clear himself and stop a serial killer.
The film was shot in Glasgow in 1997.[2] At one point during production, Sheen demanded to visit Easterhouse, one of Glasgow's toughest areas at the time, to obtain drugs and asked for a gun to protect himself.[3] It is suggested Sheen agreed to this film in an attempt to try more serious roles.[2]
