In an explosive mix of dark humor and suspense, we follow the misadventures of Ned Ravine, a lawyer of variable talent portrayed by the unmistakable Armand Assante. This guy is an expert at defending women in distress, but his personal life is a mess. The plot kicks off when he finds himself entangled in a love affair with two completely opposite women: a sensual femme fatale, played by the beautiful Kate Nelligan, who ensnares him in a spiral of danger and seduction, and his sweet wife, whom he can't fully forget (and who has a couple of surprises up her sleeve).
What initially seems like an exciting romance soon turns into a genuine game of cat and mouse. When a series of mysterious murders start occurring, Ned realizes that each of these women hides dark secrets that could sink him into a sea of legal troubles and homicides. The tension between romance, crime, and comedy intensifies, taking us on a whirlwind of unexpected twists where nothing is as it seems.
Amid absurd situations and sparkling dialogue, the protagonist must untangle the truth to save his career and his life, facing not only external dangers but also his own failed decisions. With a parody tone of classic film noir thrillers, the movie keeps us on the edge of our seats while making us laugh out loud. Who will emerge victorious in this deadly game of love and betrayal?
