Orthodox Judaism and the larger, secular world clash as gorgeous gentile cop Melanie Griffith goes undercover (and then under the covers) when she falls in love with a Hasidic Jew (Eric Thal) from Brooklyn while investigating a murder case. Think Witness with rebbes substituted for the Amish. (official distributor synopsis)
