Based on the same novel that inspired Jacques Tourneur’s dark noir diamond OUT OF THE PAST, this steamy update infuses the classic story of betrayal, murder, and doomed love with a vivid sensuality. Terry Brogan (Jeff Bridges), a cynical former football star, is hired to find Jessie Wyler (Rachel Ward), the runaway mistress of ruthless LA nightclub owner Jake Wise (James Woods). But trouble brews when he tracks down and falls in love with the beautiful Jessie on a Mexican island—and Jake dispatches his henchman to bring the lovers back.
