Jake () is a writer, a writer with a problem. “My mind,” as he says, “has a mind of its own.” Jake does much more than just put words down on paper. His fictional characters, and the dialogue he creates for them, are so real, they become real.

And when the reality of Jake's won life becomes too much for him, he retreats into the rich world of his imagination. Often, the line between reality and imagination becomes a messy but delightful – blur. And when the subject at hand is women, Jake's hyperactive mind lands him in a lot of trouble sometimes – painful, often funny, always touching.

Jake and his wife Maggie (Anne Archer) have enjoyed eight good years together. But now their marriage is in trouble; Maggie feels she's suffocating, and that her writer husband doesn't really communicate with her. “A good line is always better than an honest emotion, isn't it?” she says to Jake. Maggie suggests a six-month trial separation.

Jake seeks solace – within the fertile realm of his imagination – from his very wise (and wonderfully droll) sister, Karen (Julie Kavner), and his off-the-wall analyst, Edith (Joyce Van Patten). “What you love is the idea of loving women,” says Karen. “But intimacy – that you're afraid of!”

While nursing his hurt, Jake mentally travels back in time to his first marriage, to his beloved Julie (), who died in a car crash at age 35. Jake and Julie had a daughter, Molly (Ashley Peldon/Kimberly Williams), to whom Jake is devoted. Maggie knows only too well that Julie haunts Jake's thoughts; that she, Maggie, is Wife Number Two. “ I'm through with being a rewrite of someone else, “ she says when she and Jake are splitting up.

As the weeks and months of the separation pass, Jake realizes more and more what he's lost. And so does Maggie. “We're like two people reaching out for each other with both hands tied behind our backs.”

As “Jake's Women” flashes back and forth between then and now, between real and imaginary, we experience at his Pulitzer Prize-winning best: uncovering truths, touching our hearts, and making us laugh. Always making us laugh.

His agent, Nancy, also his niece, gets him auditions when she can, but Willie's condescending and combative manner usually costs him the part.

The only catch is, they want to reunite the classic team of “Lewis and Clark” Willie and his former partner, Al Lewis, have not spoken for eight years.

Neither is excited about reuniting with his former partner and both refuse to admit that they care a whit about the money. After a bit of good- natured conniving on Nancy's part they agree to meet and discuss the role.

Willie and Al pick up exactly where they had left off eight years before. Al's mildly annoying habits inevitably send Willie into orbit.

Oscar was wounded by a rifle that Ranse had rigged in his garden to kill deer that were ravaging his crops.

The case hits close to home for Stewart. His wife Olivia (Lonette McKee) lingers in the throes of a three-year depression over the shooting death of their own son, Danny, who was Oscar's best friend. Stewart is thus reluctant to take the case at first.

His conscience, however, compels him to aid the beleaguered farmer. He takes the case, and wins Ranse's acquittal. On the witness stand, the recovering Oscar reveals that he stole the rifle, which was not loaded, out of the garden, in order to prove his manhood to his father. The Congressman in turn loaded the gun for him, telling him that only a loaded gun qualified him for manhood. Oscar, in returning the gun to the garden, accidently shot himself.

The outcome of the case leads Daniel Stewart to reveal to Olivia the secret behind their own son's death. Horace Henley had lent a gun to a cuckolded townsman, Barney, who, taking aim for his wife, Aurora, accidently shot Danny instead. Stewart did not reveal Henley's involvement in his sons's death to anyone, not wanting to jeopardize the election for a candidate who hat promised to use his office to help poor blacks.

The truth revealed, Daniel and Olivia are finally able to put the past aside.

Blaine Connor (Tim Matheson), a loving husband and father, made a serious mistake when his wife, Cynthia (Leigh Taylor-Young), was ill and he was lonely and vulnerable: he had a brief affair with Sheila (Jennie Garth), a much younger woman. Though he regrets the relationship, the dangerous, far-reaching consequences are just beginning.

Blaine learns that a silkscreen he secretly lent Sheila which belongs to his father-in-law and business associate, Clayton, has skyrocketed in value. Clayton, assuming it is still stored in the company warehouse, mentions his intention of selling it. But when Blaine rushes to Sheila to reclaim the piece, she refuses to give it back.

Blaine is shocked by his next encounter with Sheila, on the arm of his son, Rick (Peter Facinelli), coming through the door for Thanksgiving dinner. Becoming involved with Rick is her way to get back at Blaine, who is just as determined to protect his family as Sheila is to destroy it. Desperate, he hires Dwight Bennet, an ex- con, to search Sheila's apartment, but she catches Dwight in the act and makes a deal: a piece of the action when she sells the art, in exchange for his silence.

Meanwhile, Sheila flaunts her relationship with Rick. In an attempt to have her deported, Blaine reports to authorities that she is Canadian, in the U.S. illegally. But his plan backfires, as Rick announces his intention to marry her, so she can stay. And Dwight learns too late how dangerous a woman she is. When he goes to her apartment for his payoff, he gets it – a razor blade across the throat. She coolly plants a matching weapon bearing Rick's fingerprints, and leaves to collect the silkscreen and get out of the country.

The search for Rick leads the police to Blaine's door. Blaine confesses everything to Cynthia and tries to tell Rick about Sheila's treachery. But he refuses to believe any of it and storms off to go to her. Sheila admits that her initial plan was revenge, but says she now truly loves him. Rick almost believes her, until he discovers where she's hidden the missing art.

Blaine arrives just as Sheila pulls a gun. He jumps between them and takes a bullet intended for Rick. Sheila runs out with the silkscreen to board a plane, confident of her victory. Suddenly, she finds Rick has tricked her: she doesn't have the silkscreen at all. The police take Sheila away, and face the difficult task of becoming a family again.

Francis Ford Coppola serves as an Executive Producer of this engaging futuristic fantasy about expatriate Earthlings on a far-flung planet with two conflicting cultures and some very bizarre inhabitants.

One half the planet Rustia receives perpetual daylight, and the other half is always cloaked in night. The peaceful “Lightsiders” live like simple frontiersmen of the old American West, while the violent “Darksiders” live in a sort of dismal Gothic splendour.

Dr. Driscoll Rampart (Neal McDonough), young, handsome and over-confident, is sure that his assignment on Rustia, “the armpit of the Universe,” is a mistake that his well-connected father back on Earth will quickly be able to fix. But the primitive and mysterious planet begins to affect him, and through the influence of his supervisor, Dr. Akada (Paul Winfield), a frontier doctor of mythic reputation, Rampart learns to temper his egotism and have compassion for even the poorest of his patients.

In his travels to the Darkside, Rampart falls in love with Princess Ariel, who is promised in an arranged marriage to Strake, a Machiavellian advisor to her father, the King. Secretly conspiring to disrupt an on-going peace process with the Lightsders, Strake's intrigues eventually lead to his undoing.

When lobsters, the islanders' main source of trade, suddenly disappear, the people decide Zelda has put a curse on the sea for taking her husband's life. As a result, the orphaned Perdita is banned from school, taunted by the other children, and branded by the community as “the witch's daughter.”

The townspeople make it known that Perdita and her aunt Annie are not welcome to stay on the island. Annie explains that Perdita is not a witch, but is merely gifted with “second sight,” the to see thing before they actually happen.
