Plot:Fading country pop star Cassidy Davies (Julianne Hough) is meeting with manager Tommy Lowe (Jeremy Piven) at a beachfront bar. Lowe assures her that he has all the promoters in his back pocket and will pay stations to get her music on the air so that she can get back on the Billboard charts. Suddenly a Racketeering strike force moves in and arrests Lowe. As they lead him away, Cassidy gloats that she set him up to get back at him for all the musicians he's screwed over.
At OCB, Lt. Martin Castillo (Andy Garcia) informs Sonny Crockett (Josh Holloway) that he is taking him off of an illegal arms investigation so he can guard Cassidy until she testifies against Lowe since he should have the easiest time fitting in in the music crowd. Crockett is annoyed, but agrees to the assignment even though he feels it's all part of a publicity stunt on Cassidy's part.
Crockett heads over to Cassidy's penthouse where he first meets Cassidy's assistant Angie and then by Cassidy herself. After taking a look at him, Cassidy immediately begins vocally doubting Crockett's ability to keep her safe. Crockett says he's fought in a war and been a cop for a long time, so protecting a spoiled pop princess will be a cake walk. Meanwhile, Lowe tries to get the record executives on the phone, but they refuse his calls.
Crockett takes Cassidy to a recording studio, where they continue butting heads. Meanwhile, Lowe meets with his lawyer Ralph Fisher (Patrick Fischler), who advises him to convince Cassidy not to testify in court. Lowe asks how that would work, and Fisher offers to have some people make Cassidy disappear, but it won't be cheap. Lowe hands over an envelope of cash and tells Fisher to have them make it look like an accident.
Cassidy gives Crockett a hard time about his fancy clothes, car and boat, but Crockett informs her that it is all part of his undercover role. He's just a regular working man, not some whiny celebrity. Cassidy takes offense to the comment and says she isn't like the image the magazine and TV project of her. Crockett is paying the bill when the men Lowe hired arrive and start shooting up the place. Crockett hoots one of them and pulls Caitlin into his Ferrari, with the other two men in pursuit. Crockett has Cassidy hold the wheel, and he leans out the window and shoots at the men in pursuit, killing the one in driver seat as the passenger bails from the car. Crockett then drives the car to the marina.
On Crockett's boat, Cassidy is shaken up, but she is unharmed. She tells him that she has to testify against Lowe. Crockett asks her if she's willing to risk her life to do so. Cassidy says she is. She and her band put their faith in Lowe to manage them, but he got greedy and began stealing money from them and slowly broke her band apart. Her drummer killed himself, her guitarist left to join a cult, and the bass player and former boyfriend sued Lowe, but wound up end of an apparent suicide shortly thereafter. She believe Lowe had him killed, but can't prove it, so testifying against Lowe is her only recourse. The two realize they were wrong about each other and begin kissing. Tubbs (Taye Diggs) and Castillo arrive at the marina and see Crockett and Cassidy kissing. Tubbs pulls Crockett aside and calls him out on his inappropriate actions. Crockett reminds Tubbs that Castillo told him not to let Cassidy out of him sight.
Crockett describes his lifestyle situation to Cassidy: the job, divorce, kid, all-night cases, etc. She is surprisingly not detered. Cassidy tells Crockett that she works all night sometimes too, and she likes kids. Lowe gets a text informing him that the hit failed. He then gets into his car and starts the engine. Lowe's car suddenly explodes. Tubbs calls Crockett and tells him that Lowe is dead, so the case is over. Cassidy tells Crockett that she doesn't want them to end just because the assignment does.
