District Attorney Tom Logan is set for higher office, at least until he becomes involved with defence lawyer Laura Kelly and her unpredictable client Chelsea Deardon. It seems the least of Chelsea's crimes is the theft of a very valuable painting, but as the women persuade Logan to investigate further and to cut some official corners, a much more sinister scenario starts to emerge.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Ivan Reitman's first non-Ghostbusters film after that blockbuster, and the studio marketed it heavily on his name.
The film captures a specific moment when yuppie ambition and romantic comedy collided in Reagan-era Manhattan, with art collecting as status symbol.
