There is a serial killer terrorizing Manhattan. Mayor Eamon Flynn (Rod Steiger) wants it to stop now. The agitated mayoral assistant (Harvey Keitel) calls on his former--brilliant, nonconformist--cop brother (Kevin Kline) to return to the force and handle the case. Kline agrees, for a price: a date with Keitel's gorgeous wife (Susan Sarandon). Kline amasses details on the killer and calculates a pattern that allows him to predict the killer's next crime, which will take place in the labyrinthine corridors of a major skyscraper. Screenplay by John Patrick Shanley (Moonstruck).
