From Case Cover :
Julian Kay (RICHARD GERE) is a master at the art of seduction. He is an intelligent, charismatic man who knows what women want. As a lover-for-hire, he’s a man with privilege, charm, and a steep price for his time. But everything changes when an affair with a Senator’s wife (LAUREN HUTTON) entangles him in a high-profile murder investigation. He becomes the prime suspect. As the police tighten the noose, Julian finds himself with no one to trust but the woman who hasn’t abandoned him.

In a film directed by Paul Schrader (Taxi Driver), Richard Gere sizzles in the role that made him a star.
