When the daughter of a billionaire philanthropist is murdered in a rough sex romp gone bad, District Attorney Jack Campioni (Tom Berenger) is quick to indict an up-and- coming rap artist. Fresh off the acquittal of Councilman Steven Mayer (John Ritter), high-profile defense attorney Kitt Devereaux (Melanie Griffith) comes to the aid of the young rapper. Teaming with investigator Al Gordon (Huey Lewis), Devereaux finds herself up against unexpected dangerous forces, including one of the city's most politically ambitious families. Blindsided at every turn, Devereaux offers herself up as bait - and in the end, discovers that behind every conspiracy theory lies a grain of truth. (official distributor synopsis)
