Insurance actuary Cassie Stewart (Jessica Capshaw) is dating Bobby Rose. Her roommate Diane Summers (Cindy Sampson) gives her a diamond necklace. Diane and Bobby are murdered in the apartment. Cassie is found unconscious outside and becomes the prime suspect in a lovers' quarrel gone wrong. She gets top lawyer L. G. Mennick (Art Hindle) who is doing the case for the media exposure. Police detective Rudy Shatz has doubts.
The initial case seems very flimsy. Cassie is more likely to be a victim than the murderer. It's a tough hurdle to overcome unless she makes a statement which seems to implicate her. The movie is missing that. It should be an easy fix. As for the reveal, it is obvious from the first big side eyes. The movie isn't really trying to make this a mystery. It could be, but it's not trying. This is fine for a TV movie.
