His songwriter girlfriend Randi is glad he's back and calls on an ex-boyfriend, Carl Olsen, to get Charlie a job. Carl, now a district attorney in the Malibu area, hooks Charlie up with Emma De Layle, the sultry wife of an ill but still-powerful rich man. She wants Charlie to be the middleman in a fake kidnapping of her step-daughter, Melissa, who's in on the plot because she wants cash to break free of dad and Emma is happy to have her leave. Things are bound to go wrong, and Charlie may be left holding the bag yet again. Who's pulling all the strings in this web of intrigue?

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a classic noir labyrinth where every character is a potential betrayer and trust becomes the most valuable currency. It relies on a pervasive tension, contrasting Malibu's sunny landscapes with the dark motives of its inhabitants.
What lingers after the credits is the puzzle of double-crosses and sharp turns, where the question of who is pulling the strings remains compelling until the very end. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: J. Edie Martin

Watch late at night, immersed in the atmosphere of suspicion and sun-drenched California noir.
