Alex Sternberg wakes up with a hangover and no memory of how she ended up in bed with a dead man. She flees, convinced that she has had another blackout and stabbed someone. Her only support, Turner, an ex cop and recovering alcoholic who is unsympathetic to her plight. She could believe that it is as simple as a violent act committed while drunk, except that the body keeps re-appearing.

    A predictable thriller with below-average performances from talented actors.

    A Fonda disappointment moment had to turn it off half through. Charactets has no depth whatsover, the dynamics are weird and totally off. The story is so cliché and styling feels like a tv set so it almost felt like a parody watching it. It must have been a "mercy role"by Fonda for the director she probably owned something.
