ynopsis

Parolee Ben Jordan has spent the past fifteen years behind bars for pregnant wife's murder overseen by his parole officer, Lee Samuels and his personal social worker Laura Mathews. Looking into her case she becomes convinced he was convicted under circumstantial evidence and starts becoming convinced of his innocence in the crime. Before long she starts falling for him, but this is far from wise, since even if he is innocent, Mrs Jordan's real murderer may soon come a calling.

Trivia

After significantly re-writing the script, Quentin Tarantino was given an associate producer credit on the film (his first official screen credit). The film features a number of Tarantino's trademark pop cultural references. For example, in reference to a Peeping Tom-like recording of a murder, a cop says "It makes Nightmare on Elm Street look like Charlotte's Web."
