A top FBI profiler, Special Agent Illeana Scott (Angelina Jolie)
doesn't rely on traditional crime-solving techniques to unravel
the mysteries of a murderous mind. Her intuitive, unconventional
approach often makes the crucial difference between catching a killer
and sending a dead-end case to the cold file.

 The
element of vulnerability especially appealed to Angelina Jolie,
who notes that, "often in films you see the woman from the
FBI and she's cool and tough, never a hesitation. But this
woman isn't like that. She's strong and intelligent but also
very human. She's flawed.
There are secrets in her past. "She is a profiler and is
therefore extremely sensitive. I did a lot of research on
profilers and the work they do, and I find there's something
very sensual about them. They watch everything from the way
people move their hands and feet to what they say and why
they do things in a specific manner. They're acute observers,
which makes this a very interesting part to play."

When Montreal detectives handling a local homicide investigation
reluctantly ask for an outsider's help to get inside the head of
a cunning serial killer, Agent Scott joins the case. With meticulous
insight, she theorizes that the chameleon-like killer is "life-jacking"
-- assuming the lives and identities of his victims.
 As
the pressure mounts to catch the elusive murderer, Agent Scott's
unorthodox methods alienate her from a territorial police team that
feels threatened by her uncanny abilities. Her seemingly cold demeanor
belies an unparalleled passion for her work, and she's at her best
when she's working alone.
But when an unexpected attraction sparks a complicated romantic
entanglement, the consummate specialist begins to doubt her finely-honed
instincts. Alone in an unfamiliar city with no one she can trust,
Agent Scott suddenly finds herself on a twisted and terrifying journey,
surrounded by suspects in a case that has become chillingly personal.
