In No Footprints, stunt woman Darcy Lott, scouting a movie location on the Golden Gate Bridge, pulls back a woman who is trying to jump. The woman states she will be dead by Thanksgiving and disappears, leaving her jacket. Darcy frantically looks for this woman. The more she learns about her, the greater the mystery becomes. Darcy discovers that the woman, Tessa, runs a copy shop for a detective known as “cockroach”, who has a reputation for questionable tactics. Meanwhile, Darcy’s mounting responsibilities keep her moving non-stop through her days and nights. She is still working on setting up the stunt for the movie and dealing with a producer who is creating all sorts of problems.
