The Firm is a law firm
which has just hired a new and upcoming lawyer, Mitchell
McDeer. Mitchell, being quite naive as a lawyer will be just
perfect for what The Firm has in mind: laundering money, tax
evasion and murder.
Mitchell McDeer and
his young wife, Abby, are quite excited as they move into
their plush new home that The Firm has provided for them.
Mitchell is going to start his first day for the company that
following morning. As he walks outside of their home he finds
a brand new Mercedes parked in the driveway. Abby and Mitch
are delighted, as they may finally be getting all the good
things in life that they have always wanted. They do not
realize that they will get more than they bargained for. Mitch
will have to try and protect his and Abby's lives after
discovering that The Firm has mafia connections and they will
use any means necessary to get what they want, including
murder.
The McDeers have a
pet dog, Hearsay, who is present in several scenes throughout
the film. All action is basic. Hearsay is seen being petted,
playing and romping with Mitchell in the backyard of their
home, and riding in the family convertible. There is one scene
in which there is a dog race. For this, actual footage of a
dog race was shown.
