Kilmer is found shot in the head in the southwest American desert. He awakes in a hospital in a small town with a severe case of amnesia. As he regains his strength he starts to have flashes of a plot to kill the President of the United States. Given the extent of his amnesia, he's not exactly fully stocked on the details so he's having a hard time convincing anyone about what exactly is going to happen. He's pretty troubled about it. Just look at him:
The Secret Service is called in but they're far from convinced that he's believable considering that the President is not even planning on passing through the tiny Southwest town and Kilmer can't even remember that his name is Frank Kavanaugh. Neve Campbell shows up and claims to be his wife but there's something really off about their interactions. Kilmer starts flirting really aggressively with his nurse (Amy Smart) who looks just super foxy in this movie.
Kilmer starts going out drinking really hard. This sort of heightens the recurrence of his flashbacks.
Spoiler alert: There's a couple of shady co-conspirators in the town who pull off this massive diversion that ends up bringing the POTUS motorcade through the small town. Kilmer pulls off a massive turnaround on the co-conspirators. He gets the money he was going to be paid to be the triggerman, and kills off the would-be assassins. Hooray, but pretty forgettable.
