On Valentine's Eve, Claire Donahue met a charming man named Brian in the City Bistro 250 in Philadelphia. By the end of the evening, they were both each other's Valentine due to what appeared to them as "an instant connection." Then, the nightmare began for Claire.
Claire and Brian both brought some baggage into their relationship. Claire's ex-boyfriend died when during an argument, he lunged at her, and she pushed him away....right into an oncoming motor vehicle. By comparison, Brian murdered his first wife, hoping for a big payout in inheritance.
Much of the film puts on display Brian's skills at tracking Claire and setting her up to take the fall for the death of his second wife, Margaret Coleman. It is only due to Claire's tenacity in proving her innocence that she is able to survive his devious machinations.
Behind the scenes, two female police detectives are on the case. One believes that Claire is guilty and the other that Brian has framed her. There was a good ebb-and-flow to the action, and Claire looks to an unlikely source of support: her profligate father, who was a womanizer and a disgrace to the family.
Two other well-developed characters were Claire's friends, Sophia and Tiffany. One of those characters holds the key to unlocking the secrets of Brian's sordid past. Brian had a curious problem with his mother. In his twisted mind, he is looking to honor his father with payback against women in general. But he never realized that he would meet his match with the formidable Claire Donahue.
