An adult drama set in the world of rich folks, some of whom have little else to do besides sail boats and sleep with other people's wives. It's a lifestyle in which backstabbing and deceit go hand in hand, where sincerity and treachery are sometimes interchangeable, but not everyone is of that ilk. The naïve rich girl cliché is one such example, played by the softly spoken
Meg Tilly, who fills the (designer) shoes well-enough.
Rob Lowe is the suitor to her bank balance, a yachtsman whose objective is money. He's supposed to be surface charming and secretly dangerous, but he's as humdrum as he's been all the other times I've seen him act, which admittedly isn't very many. But as a whole, it feels like a post-watershed TV movie for bored housewives.
