 SEASON 1, EPISODE 3 KILLER INSTINCT High school track star Chris (Lori Petty) has lost her edge and is willing to do anything to get back her 'killer instinct', so she can live up to the legacy of her deceased mother, a former champion track star. With the help of her coach (Lee Kessler), Chris learns the painful price of winning when she experiences both the ecstasy of victory, and the agony of defeat. Aided by a special talisman, Chris is able to not only visualize winning, but focus on the gruesome destruction of her opponents as well.
