Timothy Bayer has a good job at the company owned by his wife Angela’s father and trading in diamonds. Angela is pregnant. Timothy meets Carla Rainer, with whom he spends one night. He then tells her the relationship cannot continue.
Timothy receives a package with a video tape on which he can be seen having sex with Rainer. Later, Rainer disrupts a business lunch attended by Timothy, Angela and Angela's father. Timothy meets with Rainer, who blackmails him and demands that the next shipment of diamonds be handed over. He hires a man to shadow the woman, but the man is later found murdered.
Timothy meets with Rainer again, to whom he gives diamonds and in return receives the original of the recording sent to him. It turns out that he is cooperating with the police who provided him with a small recording device. Rainer notes that the diamonds are not real. She and her accomplice Ron Lansing ambush Angela at the family estate. Angela flees while Rainer shoots her accomplice. Timothy rushes to his wife's aid and is shot, while Rainer falls a few meters in the stairwell and is impaled on a sculpture. Angela tells her injured husband that she will forgive him.
Reviews
Cheryl DeWolfe scoffed in the Apollo Movie Guide for having seen similar films. If the "lame plot" is not enough to stay away from the film, this could possibly be achieved by "B-actors" who would "trample" through "poorly written scenes" . On the other hand - the sight of the naked Kim Cattrall could arouse the interest of the viewer. Although the action should take place in San Francisco , well-known buildings in Vancouver are visible. Low budget doesn't have to mean low quality, but this film is an exception to the rule.
Awards
David Winning won in 1997 the Gold Award of the World Festival Houston .
