Lucy Baker likes to think she takes the high moral ground. After all, she walked away from her career as a successful defense attorney after she helped yet another of her murdering clients get off. But she's in shock when the FBI tells her that her fiance, Jonathan St. Clair, is really a con man named Leo Banks. She begins to investigate his background, only to discover his apartment abandoned and her life changed forever. The FBI blackmails Lucy into helping them find her on-the-run fiance after they show her evidence that Jonathan has hidden millions of dollars in dirty money under her name. Confused and scared, Lucy turns to her annoying neighbour, handsome lawyer Wylie Wilson, for help. Their romance quickly blossoms, but Jonathan grows suspicious of Lucy's new behaviour and decides she has become a threat that must be eliminated. During a record-setting blizzard that immobilizes the Eastern seaboard, Lucy and Wylie must defend themselves against Lucy's ruthless fiance.
