Plot Summary
Harry Barber (Woody Harrelson) has just been released from prison after serving two years for a crime he didn't commit. He meets the seductive Mrs. Donnely (Elisabeth Shue), who convinces him to assist her in a fake kidnapping in return for a percentage of the profits. Although he suspects he is being set up, Barber accepts the offer and also agrees to act as the D.A.'s media representative for the case.
