Jim Nash and the fedora Maddie has forbidden him to wear in public is on another tear. This time, he’s after a woman wearing a yellow dress who shows up at his office. Melanie Taylor wants him to prove she hasn’t murdered her husband in cold blood.
Nash is reluctant to accept the case—that is, until Taylor crosses his palm with an envelope containing a cool hundred bucks. He immediately accepts the challenge, and after Taylor departs, he heads over to his favorite bar. There, he encounters his cop friend, Danny Boyle. He flashes Boyle a twenty from his proceeds, and asks the cop to tell him all about the case.
Boyle isn’t reluctant. In typical cop fashion, he tells Nash what he knows, and what he doesn’t know.
Will Jim Nash get sucked into Melanie Taylor’s web of lies? Only time will tell, and it’s not doing much talking.
