The Last Word

With his marriage in trouble and his best friend in debt to the Mob, Journalist Martin Ryan (Timothy Hutton) goes to a strip bar, where he is enamored with the beautiful, mysterious Caprice (Michelle Burke). Martin writes her story and exposes her secret and painful past. He also falls in love with her. But Caprice hasn't revealed everything, and when Martin's partner Doc engineers with a Hollywood studio a movie deal based on Martin's writings, the three move West, taking their secrets with them. In L.A., the studio wants all of Caprice's intimate, dark secrets in the film. They put pressure on Doc to get the reluctant Martin to sell-out Caprice, but doing so would destroy her. Now Martin is forced to choose between love and success, romance and power, and friendship and money. (official distributor synopsis)
