THE BODYGUARD      

          Rachel Marron is a singer and actress who is being stalked. After a bomb explodes in her dressing room her manager hires Frank Farmer a former Secret Service agent to be her bodyguard. He’s reluctant because he thinks she’s a diva who doesn’t take the threat seriously.  She thinks he’s paranoid, but after he saves her from a riot at a concert they begin an affair. He breaks it off because he thinks it might impair his detachment as it relates to the job. Angry, Rachel starts to push back against the security measures but after more threatening calls realizes the seriousness of the situation.
