Short description

A successful and married black man contemplates having an affair with a white girl from work. He's quite rightly worried that the racial difference would make an already taboo relationship even worse.

What's left behind the scenes

Two weeks before filming began, Samuel L. Jackson underwent drug rehabilitation treatment. Jackson officially stated that his appearance in the film was not makeup, but was actually a result of detoxification from drug use.
In preparation for the role of a drug addict, Holly Berry refused to take a bath for two weeks.
