When a tall, handsome, hunk in cutoff sweats
gets in Marnie Davis's face for hijacking his
Laundromat dryer, feathers fly. She calls him a
barbarian. He calls her a hooligan. Imagine her
chagrin then, to find the barbarian, Scott
Langley, dressed like a GC model in her law
offices the next day. It turns out Scott is the
godson of one of the partners of the firm where
Marnie works.
Marnie is forced to take Scott under her wings so
they decide to bury the hatchet. Despite their
growing attraction for each other, however, both
are determined not to forge any kind of new
relationship. They have been burned too badly by
a partner in the past. It takes a shocking
tragedy to finally bring the two lovers into each
others' arms--only to have a sensational trial,
where they are opposing counsels, tear them
apart.
