The story

The film is set in and around San Pedro, Los Angeles, California - 'the Edward Hopper streets and storefronts create a world where the script plays itself out in all its linear precision.' Sunny (Teri Garr) hires a private detective (Randy Quaid) to trail her husband Ernie (Bruce McGill), whom she believes is lavishing time and money on other women, even though she is shown to be having an affair herself. She wants all the details so she can clean him out in a divorce action. But she is impatient and kills Ernie, seizing a chance to make his business partner, Dave (John Lithgow), think he did it.
