High-priced hooker Gabrielle Mitchell (Mädchen Amick) orchestrates her arrest as part of an extortion scheme. When she presents a list of her famous johns — including esteemed attorneys and jurists — to the court, Judge Richard Miller (Ryan O’Neal) faces an ethical quandary. Making the information public could ruin his associates’ careers; keeping it sealed may destroy Miller. Before you can say “jurisprudence,” a grisly killing ups the ante.
