He plays a prosecutor whose marriage is trying to heal after an affair when the woman he slept with is murdered and he's horrified to find himself implicated in the crime.
It's a brave move by Ford in that his character is set up from the get go as a pretty unlikeable guy given his history, but he lapses into the same stoic thriller hero mode he always does without the Han Solo or Indiana Jones trimmings to prop him up. The story is much the same - plodding and fairly colourless and with a so-so twist.
