Movie Info

A man struggles to resolve a potentially deadly case of mistaken identity in this thriller. Though he stubbornly insists he is innocent, Race Darnell (Patrick Swayze) is sentenced to a term in prison for the murder of his wife. While behind bars, he begins corresponding through tape-recorded "letters" with several women at once; he mistakenly sends the wrong letter to the wrong woman one day and gets a recording back in which he angrily claims she is going to kill him. Race soon has other things to think about; he's finally cleared of his wife's murder and is released from jail, only to be accused of two other killings. Race is determined to prove he's not the man to blame, and this time he has the help of the guard who used to watch over him.

  • Dec 14, 2007
    Race Darnell, on death row for a crime he did not commit, spends his days composing love letters to lonely women on the outside. However, when the incarcerated Casanova's letters get mailed to the wrong women, one of his "pen pals" decides the two-timing jailbird must die. Upon winning an unexpected acquittal, Race finds himself out of prison but trapped in a twisted game of cat and mouse with a bloodthirsty killer dead set on avenging her broken heart.
