Summary
This steamy thriller to end all steamy thrillers stars Michael
Douglas as Nick, a boozy San Francisco police detective who finds
himself drawn to the prime suspect in a murder case--manipulative,
sexually uninhibited novelist Catherine Trammell (Sharon Stone). Catherine's
latest book features a murder uncannily similar to the one Nick is
investigating, and as the pair engage in a mating dance of dangerous
one-upmanship, more murders occur, all described in her current work,
about a boozy cop in love with a killer. Nick's psychiatrist (Jeanne
Tripplehorn), and cop partner (George Dzundza) are both worried about
him, and Catherines jealous lesbian lover (Leilani Sarelle)
may be trying to kill him, but Nick is just too turned on to care.
