Plot

Roy Scheider plays industrialist Harry Mitchell, a wealthy, married man living in the suburbs of Los Angeles whose wife is running for city council while he is having an affair. Harry is confronted by three blackmailers demanding $105,000 for a videotape of him and his mistress (Kelly Preston). Because of his wife's (Ann-Margaret) political aspirations, he can't go to the police. In agreeing to pay the blackmailers money to keep his affair a secret, Harry opens his financial records to one of the blackmailers, Alan Raimy (John Glover). Seeing that Mitchell cannot pay the $105,000, Raimy accepts Harry's offer of $52,000. Harry then attempts to turn the blackmailers against one another.
