Kindergarten teacher Annie lives the ideal yuppy lifestyle with her BMW-driving husband. Her boring life is suddenly upset when she receives a mysterious phone call at work, telling her "the Dancer is locked in the candy store."
This thriller is an effective variation on a familiar theme: the one about the former spy who is lured out of retirement for one more dangerous mission. Kate Capshaw plays the reluctant secret agent; she's living her new life as a wife and schoolteacher when a mysterious phone call sends her racing off to Cuba to rescue an old colleague. Her only hope lies with a former lover (Jeroen Krabbe)--Castro's top advisor, whom she long ago betrayed in the line of duty. Little does she know that their reunion is a trap.—mycroftmy
