The movie follows a young and ambitious lawyer named Matt (Nicolas Cage), who gets involved with a seductive woman named Julie (Katie Holmes) in a Miami hotel. As they spend more time together, Matt becomes entangled in a web of deceit and murder. Julie, who is married to a wealthy businessman, becomes the prime suspect in a murder investigation, and Matt decides to defend her.
