That leads to testy encounters with cool-headed Jamie (the always-excellent Forbes is wonderfully brittle in her single scene), irrational Greg, volatile, douchy Devin and inscrutable Tracy, who conveniently keeps a hot motorcycle and fabulous leathers in her garage to provide Jill with a fast and furious exit. But her self-protective instincts prompt her to keep giving him the slip as she begins pursuing her own trail of clues.
