When a jury frees her gay brother's killer, Annette O'Toole seeks revenge by abducting the morally deficient defense attorney. But the tables are turned after she is captured and goes on trial for kidnapping. What might have been an interesting piece of social commentary is instead reduced to stock situations, stereotypical characters and dismal dialogue. The only good thing to come out of this convoluted TV movie is that its stars, Annette O'Toole and Michael McKean, found romance on the set and got married. Too bad their anniversary will always remind them of this clunky effort.

Merle Hammond (Michael McKean), a sleazy attorney, uses corrupt tactics and convinces a jury to acquit his client who is a killer. Gwen (Annette O'Toole), the murdered victim's sister, plots revenge against the attorney. Out of desperation, she kidnaps and tortures him in an attempt to make him confess to his unscrupulous tactics. The cards twist when he escapes and puts her on trial for his kidnapping.
