Jilian Hildebrand, a beautiful African-American former model and sometime escort is arrested
by two overzealous New York City detectives on questionable solicitation charges stemming from
her involvement with major crime boss “Big Jimmy,” whom the detectives are investigating. Her
misguided loyalty to and fear of reprisal from Big Jim precludes her from giving the detectives information that could close several unsolved mob cases.
In her attempt to make bail she calls prominent members on her client list,
who, for obvious reasons do not wish to be linked to a possible scandal. With nowhere else to turn
she is compelled to accept the services of Nick Barone, an underachieving, yet capable attorney
from the Public Defender’s office. Nick, with the help of a friendly bail bondsman, secures her
release and guarantees her return to court to answer the additional charges being leveraged
against her by the DA’s office in the mob probe.
Upon her release she learns that the mother she has neglected has passed away. Grieve stricken,
alone and filled with guilt and remorse, she reluctantly accepts Nick’s invitation to accompany
him to visit his parent’s home upstate until her required court appearance the next Monday morning.
On the trip they develop a relationship that slowly evolves into a budding romance, pitting the
jealous and violent mobster against Nick for Jilian’s affections.
