The subject of AIDS becomes a personal matter for
Jack Killian when an ex-girlfriend tells him that she is pregnant - and has tested HIV positive. The man responsible, Mike Barnes , is knowingly infecting others and Killian's instinctive anger compels him to track Barnes down and to stop him. But how appropriate is anger when the need is for tolerance and responsibility from all sides?
