A hyper-vigilant employee of the Department of Public Safety (Richard Gere) checks on registered sex offenders. While training his young female replacement Allison Lowry (Claire Danes), he must track down a missing girl (Kristina Sisco) whom he is convinced is connected to a paroled sex offender he's investigating; these are his last working days, because he has been fired for not working according to the rules of the department.
One of the main reasons that Gere's character breaks the rules is his habit to pry into the registered offenders, often having it stated throughout the film that he doesn't understand private issues; he is also very persistent in interrogating the offenders, mainly centering on Viola (KaDee Strickland) in the plot, who is known to have a connection to another culprit that Gere and Danes suspect to have taken the girl.
