Synopsis by Sandra Brennan

In this legal thriller, a rookie lawyer jeopardizes her career and perhaps even her life when she falls in love with her client, an accused serial killer. When the case is first handed to Elaine Taylor (Jennifer Grey), she is elated and nervous. It is her most important case yet, and she is determined to shine. Her job is to prove that professional photographer George Kendall (Costas Mandylor) is innocent of killing the prostitutes he uses as models, each of whom was found dead after a session with him. Elaine is up against determined Assistant D.A. Caroyln Price (Patricia Charbonneau) and police detective Erinie Hansen (Michael Ironside) both of whom have no doubt of Kendal's guilt. Despite the fact that her two courtroom foes have plenty of evidence proving their case, Elaine finds herself seduced by the charming, handsome Kendall.
