## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Here's a film that knows exactly what it is, and is happy about it. A D.A. and a defense attorney team up to help a woman accused of theft, only to uncover a larger conspiracy. It's all very '80s, but at least it's not boring.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, neon-soaked, playful
