Synopsis

Charlie Resnick is the last person to see the attractive young woman who vanishes after a Christmas office party, but he can't even remember the color of the car in which she left. Days later, a tape-recorded ransom note arrives at police headquarters, and Resnick-along with his faulty memory-is the key to outsmarting the abductor.
