In this intriguing Sidney Lumet-directed thriller, Rebecca De Mornay plays Jennifer Baines, a smart, seasoned defense attorney who takes on the challenging case of David Greenhill (Don Johnson), a womanizing opportunist charged with the murder of his rich wife. With unquestionable motive and little compassion, Baines's new client proves too shady to trust, so the lawyer begins her own investigation -- placing herself in a game of cat-and-mouse.
