In the wake of the massive success of BASIC INSTINCT, screenwriter Joe Eszterhas returned to erotic-thriller territory with this strikingly perverse noir mystery, directed with atmosphere to burn by the great William Friedkin. While investigating the murder of a wealthy San Francisco art dealer, Assistant District Attorney David Corelli (David Caruso) stumbles into a sordid world of sex, deception, and blackmail. When his old flame, psychologist Katrina Gavin (Linda Fiorentino), is implicated in the crime, Corelli finds himself struggling to balance his duty with his personal feelings.
