Synopsis
Jackie is an executive assistant. Michael is a paralegal. By day, they work together at the same law firm, but tonight they’re on their first date. He’s a tall man with an intense look that some would find intimidating, but she is intrigued by him, and the two spend an evening in deep discussion, each performing the necessary verbal footwork to find out as much about the other as possible. As they dig deeper into each other's pasts, they make startling discoveries.
