Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Crime boss Mel Profitt (Kevin Spacey) intends to use his former girl friend Jacqueline (Jane Bucker) as part of a shakedown scheme aimed at purchasing a valuable baseball franchise from Mel's old enemy Eddie Van Platt (Jon Polito). Undercover agent Vinnie (Ken Wahl) must figure out a way to rescue Jacqueline from Mel's corruptive influence without blowing his cover. Meanwhile, Mel is growing increasingly contemptuous--and jealous--of his sister Susan's (Joan Severance) relationship with Vinnie.
