Plot Summary

A FBI agent, Mike Downey (Matthew Modine), is trying to infiltrate a mafia family. He sees a chance when Angela de Marco (Michelle Pfeiffer) tries to leave the criminal lifestyle after her gangster husband, Frank de Marco (Alec Baldwin), is murdered.

The story is complicated by the mafia boss, Tony "The Tiger" Russo (Dean Stockwell), who is romantically pursuing Angela but was also the person who killed her husband Frank over a dalliance with his mistress. The plot is further complicated by the mobster's jealous wife, Connie Russo (, and her suspicions about her husband. Further complication evolves with Mike Downey's romantic interest in the Angela character. Later an attempted assassination against Tony takes places at a "Burger World" drive-through.

Downey eventually goes out with Angela, though Tony eventually finds out about the FBI sting (and Downey's cover).
