Alec Baldwin plays a charming but unpredictable criminal who begins a domestic life with a sweet, naive young woman (Jennifer Jason Leigh) while continuing his illegal activities, all while being pursued by determined detective Hoke Mosely (Fred Ward). Director George Armitage (Grosse Pointe Blank) skillfully blends humor and crime in this offbeat thriller based on the novel of the same name by Charles Willeford and shot on location in Miami-Dade County.
