Crucified

Taylor rides into the small oceanfront town of Johnstown with hopes of starting fresh. He takes over the local auto body shop and puts the open sign in the window.

When a photo of the pastor's daughter bound and gagged, is found on the post office bulletin board, all fingers point to him.

Will the sexy Federal Agent, Dianne Parker, be able to prove his innocence, while trying to ignore their growing attraction? Will they find young Casey in time?
