The guests arrive and start drinking while Daniel and Francesca search for the restaurant up and down the streets of Amsterdam and begin to realise that their basic incompatibilities cannot be resolved. By the time they arrive at the chaotic dinner party, their hope for true love is almost lost.

The headline on the 11-year-old newspaper states that Johnny Mancini, the youngest son of a notorious New Jersey crime family, murdered his fiancée and then suddenly disappeared 14 years ago. The photograph of the fugitive quite clearly depicts her husband James, who claims to have been her boyfriend all those years ago. Is Lisa’s husband in fact the crime family member? Their entire life together has been based on a lie… but only the truth can save him. Genre: Action Thriller Running time: 1 x 94-minutes Year of production: 2000 Starring: Scott Bakula (American Beauty), Annabella Sciorra (What Dreams May Come True), George Dzundza (Grey’s Anatomy), Edward Asner (Mary Tyler Moore) AFTERMATH It should have been a routine assignment for FBI agent Rachel Adamson, but safely moving one of America’s most wanted suspects from a maximum-security prison to the downtown courthouse turns out to be anything but easy.
