According to Al, Sam's job is to keep up and coming model Edie Landsdale (Marjorie Monaghan) from dying of an overdose of drugs and alcohol. Edie a small town girl from the midwest who works for her. She is a down home type of girl who would like nothing better than to make a little money and then return home to take care of her family and perhaps become a vet.

Helen is a quite unscrupulous sort who'd do just about anything to ensure a successful shoot from her modeling talent, even if it means supplying them drugs to do it; several of her former models have had run ins with her over her supplying them with pills, possibly uppers, to "ehance" their performance on any given shoot, as several of them had had overdoses. Turns out that Edie, also one of her models, also has developed a serious substance abuse problem with drugs and alcohol.
Helen sees Edie just before an important shoot. She adamantly insists that she uses some pills, perhaps "uppers' for the shoot. It causes her to almost overdose. Sam and Al are able to circumvent before she overdoses and gets mauled by a lion on the shoot. When she crashes at a photo shoot, Sam has to move quickly to save her life.
