| A serial killer stalks the city, and a cop --nicknamed Cobra-- who just won't play by the rules is hot on his trail. But the mysterious killer makes one big mistake: he (or she) leaves a witness alive. Cobra, determined to protect the lovely fashion model witness, takes her into hiding. However, the murderer is really a covert legion of trained assassins with ties to the police force, and if Cobra wants to fullfill his mission and keep the model alive, he'll have to become a one-man army. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
