Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Terry is having an affair with his boss' wife Sylvia. One night after an office party they are together and Sylvia witnesses an attack on Denise from Terry's bedroom window. She doesn't want to expose their relationship and so is reluctant about talking to the police. Terry, wanting to help, gives the police the description of the attacker. He soon becomes the main suspect in the case. He then sets to find the real rapist/killer with some help from victim Denise.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | According to Steve Guttenberg's autobiography, "The Guttenberg Bible", the original camera crew was fired during the first week and replaced by Producer Dino De Laurentiis with crew members who only spoke Italian. Soon afterwards, Curtis Hanson insisted on hiring Gilbert Taylor to replace the Italian cinematographer. See more » |
| Goofs | After Terry (Steve Guttenberg) loses Chris (Brad Greenquist) after following him to a bar, he hides in his car in a side alley near Chris' home, waiting for him. When Chris arrives home, Terry drives slowly out from the side alley; a crew member wearing a red jacket and blue jeans can be seen through the rear window, behind Terry's car. See more » |
