Following the discovery of a young woman's body in her New York neighborhood, Frannie (Meg Ryan), a literature professor, becomes involved in an erotic affair with the police detective spearheading the investigation. As their relationship grows, so does her suspicion that he might be somehow linked to the murder. Deeply misunderstood at the time of its release the film now stands as a feminist classic reworking everything you think you know about the erotic thriller.
