Valerie Patrick is a stunt model working on a movie being filmed in the Smokey mountains. She subs for the star when the routines become hazardous. In college she was on the gymnastics team. A superb athlete, she nearly made the 2004 Olympic Squad. For her, it was a natural transition from gymnastics to stunt work. A mob boss hired a hitman to murder his major competitor. Although Valerie was in the next room while they were planning the hit, she could not hear any of the details. When the murder was announced on the national news, the mob boss became worried that she may remember the meeting and tell the authorities about it. To remove her as a potential witness, he hired the same hitman to rub her out. The plan was to make her death appear accidental. Because of her athleticism and dexterity, she avoided the initial attempts to kill her. The assassin decided to forget the subtle approach and resort to a more direct tactic, firearms, or explosives.
