When Melissa first met Kevin Davrow, it appeared as though she found her knight in shining armor. Kevin rescued Melissa from a potential mugging in a parking garage. Unfortunately, it was all a ruse as Kevin had paid to have the scene staged. But Melissa was smitten, and within a short period, she became Mrs. Kevin Davrow.
Then, the nightmare began.
The film was successful in developing the tug-of-war between husband and wife in a marriage made in hell. Kevin runs up gambling debts in excess of $300,000, and he feels it is Melissa's duty to sell her successful fashion business to pay off his bookie. But he had not counted on his wife's resilience and stubbornness.
It may have been a stretch to think that Melissa would continue to live in the same house with Kevin after he refused to leave and her divorce attorney indicated the divorce would take time. After all, this was a man capable of murder. It was even more outlandish that Melissa would walk into a neighbor's house to have a confrontation with the individual she suspects was a murderer.
But the strength of the film was in the crisp dialogue and interesting characters. Melissa has a good support team in her colleagues Cameron and Mary Ann. Above all, she has the backbone to cope with an intolerable marriage and the wherewithal to discover the truth about her slimebag of a husband.
