Have you met Carmel Loan? She's beautiful, intelligent, ambitious - and used to getting what she wants. When she becomes infatuated with fellow barrister Hale Allen, she isn't going to let a little thing like his being married get in the way. So, through the contacts of an ex-client, she hires professional killer Clara Rinker to get rid of his wife. Smart and attractive, Rinker is the best hitwoman in the business - but things go wrong; by an amazing coincidence there's a witness. It's the shooting of the witness, a cop, that brings Deputy Chief Lucas Davenport into the case. Loan and Rinker must work together to clean up the loose ends - which includes getting Davenport off their backs by whatever means necessary.
