Kevin Costner is Earl Brooks, a wealthy businessman and all around great guy and pillar of the community. The only problem is that he is also a serial killer who is trying to reform by attending AA meetings. His id, Marshall(William Hurt) persuades him to kill a couple having sex. He doesn't notice the open curtains and later is blackmailed by a Mr. Smith with photographs of the murder scene. Smith asks to tag along for the next killing.
Brooks daughter, Jane quits college and announces that she is pregnant. Detectives visit to question her regarding a hatchet murder at the school. Her father believes that she is guilty and travels to the school and commits a copycat slaying to steer the police off track.
So far, so good, a top notch crime thriller until Demi Moore shows up as detective Tracy Atwood, who is a modern day Sherlock Holmes. Brooks decides to fake his own death and devises a scheme using the great cop to pull it off. Moore is ridiculous as a millionaire who just loves chasing bad guys as a hobby. Her acting and the script are equally horrendous. The final third of the film is ruined, mostly by Demi Moore's awful performance.
