The film tells of Isaac Barr (Richard Gere), a top notch San Francisco Freudian psychiatrist, who has Diana Baylor (Uma Thurman) on the patient’s couch. He’s treating her for frightening and horrific childhood memories which include images of her drunken father and his death in a fire for which she wasn’t blamed. One night, the stunning Heather Evans (Kim Basinger) enters Barr’s office and says she’s Baylor’s sister. She asks Barr for information about her sister’s case.

It’s implied that, as part of the treatment, Isaac speaks to Heather to find out more about her sister’s past experiences and to determine if she might provide information Diana has forgotten.

Not long after Heather seduces Isaac and a steamy affair follows.

The problem: Heather is married to Jimmy Evans (Eric Roberts), a violent and wealthy gangster. She has a way of embarrassing Jimmy in public by taking a sip of wine and then flipping into an attack of “pathological intoxication,” which can end with the restaurant in shambles.

Soon, we discover it’s not Diana that needs the professional psychiatric help but Heather. She’s trying to involve unsuspecting Isaac in a plan to murder Jimmy and collect a 4 million dollar double indemnity life insurance policy on him. She’s also using Diana as bait and wants Isaac framed for the murder. Read more
