**SPOILERS** Working like a dog at his job as an advertising executive to make life better for his screwy wife Jessica, Erika Eleniak, and his two young children Katie & Joshua,Ashly Hale & Nathan Tipple, Russell Landers, David Millbern, never saw what was coming until it was almost too late. This in regards to a hair-brained attempted by Jessica to get even with him in her misguided thoughts of Russell cheating on her.
Just because Russell was coming home late from work and almost passing out from exhaustion in bed Jessica thought that he was playing the field back in the office, with the many sexy women co-employees there ,and decided to get even with Russell by having an affair of her own. Getting in touch, through the internet, with an old flame back in high school Marcus Declan, Michael Bergin, Jessica planned to meet him in a swanky restaurant in downtown Seattle and take up where she left off back some 15 years ago.
As you would have expected the two hit it off right away with Marcus realizing that Jessica was bored with her marriage and wanted some real hot and heavy action which he was more the willing to provide for her. It was only after Jessica found out that Russell was breaking his back to get a major contract, worth over 20 million dollars, that would put both her and the kids on easy street that she changed her mind about him. But by then it was too late Marcus was stuck on her like a stamp to a letter and it would take a lot of hot steam in order to get him detached.
After the breakup with Marcus things started to get a bit strained for Jessica with her and Russell getting phone calls at night with the other party hanging up and not giving his or her name and even later Jessica's car was vandalized and family dog Lucy, played by Buddy the pooch, poisoned. It also came out that Marcus was indited in a murder back in Dallas Texas of Nicole Kingsley, Anne Opensha, in which he was found innocent.
Feeling that he murdered, even though exonerated in a court of law, once and will murder again both Jessica and Russell try to get Marcus arrested by the Seattle Police only to find out that he's got air-tight alibis where he was during all the troubles that they, Jessica & Russell, accuse him of causing them. It's not until later that this mysterious and somewhat spaced-out young woman Lisa Calders, Juliet Laandau,shows up at the Landers home that things really start to pop.
Claiming to be the attorney who got Marcus off, from his murder charge, back in Dallas Lisa start to formulate this plan to get the goods on him in his attempted murder of both Jessica and Russell that she claims that Marcus is planning. ****SPOILERS****It didn't take that much to figure out that this Lisa was a fake and had ulterior motives in both screwing Marcus and the Landers and it all went back to Dallas Texas and the murder of Nicole Kingsley and the person who really was responsible for her death.
Very predictable and silly crime drama that has you feeling absolutely no sympathy at all for it's star Jessica Landers. Jessica was both selfish and ridicules in her dealings with both her loyal husband Russell and new found boyfriend Marcus. Scerewing, figuratively not literally, both Russell and Marcus Jessica in the end not only put herself in danger but her husband and children, as well as the family dog Lucy, as well.
****MAJOR SPOILERS****The ending was about as off-the-wall as you can imagine with the killer coming out of the shadows and revealing himself only to end up blowing his, or her, plan in offing both Jessica and Russell as well as the by now almost brain-dead Marcus. The badly disabled Marcus, with a bullet in the back of his skull, in his own way saved the day by coming back to life when you, as well as the killer , thought that he was history.
