Throughout the bizarre twist of events in his investigation, Buck must face the murders of his valuable informants, including attempts on his own life.
Kirk Cameron is best known for his teen-role as heartthrob Mike Seaver on the award-winning series “Growing Pains,” staring along side Alan Thicke, Joanna Kerns and Leonardo DiCaprio, who played a homeless youngster on the last two seasons. During this break-through role, Cameron’s boyish mug graced every teen magazine. He not only received countless fan letters, but also two Golden Globe nominations! Producers quickly took notice and cast Cameron in a series of fun roles like his work in the 1987 comedy “Like Father Like Son” with Dudley Moore, 1988’s “Listen to Me,” the 1991 drama “Little Piece of Heaven,” Disney’s 1995 “The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes,” and the Warner Brother’s sitcom “Kirk” (1995-1997) and most recently Disney’s “Your Lucky Dog.”
A philanthropist at heart, Cameron and his wife Chelsea Noble work every summer at “Camp Firefly,” a foundation they created to help families of seriously ill children.

Though initially cast for a short term, the producers of the show saw the television chemistry between her and Kirk Cameron’s character and extended her role for three seasons, including the show’s finale. Not only did that chemistry win the hearts of viewers, it also won the heart of her heartthrob co-star, Kirk Cameron.
Cameron and Noble wed in Noble’s hometown July 20, 1991. They currently live in Los Angeles with their four children. Often taking roles alongside her husband, Noble also worked with Cameron on “A Little Piece of Heaven,” “Kirk,” and “You Lucky Dog.” She also was in the made-for-TV movie “Star Struck” in 1994.
