Ray Lawrence's assured, fascinating film appears, on the surface, to be a murder mystery; a corpse is found and Detective Leon Zat is on the case. But he faces personal problems with his wife Sonja who is seeing psychiatrist Dr. Valerie Somers, who in turn is having her own problems with her husband. Comparable to Magnolia and Short Cuts, this is a multi-layered film about relationships and power as much as the murder.
