A district attorney is approached by a defence lawyer who needs help with an unusual case. She is representing an artist accused of stealing a valuable painting, but who claims it was painted by her father as a gift to her. They soon discover the case is just part of an elaborate art-fraud conspiracy. Comedy mystery, starring Robert Redford, Debra Winger and Daryl Hannah.

District Attorney Tom Logan is set for higher office, at least until he becomes involved with defence lawyer Laura Kelly and her unpredictable client Chelsea Deardon. It seems the least of Chelsea's crimes is the theft of a very valuable painting, but as the women persuade Logan to investigate further and to cut some official corners, a much more sinister scenario starts to emerge.
