A car accident forces a man to stop by his hometown while heading West. He meets a young woman who had been in prison. Seventeen years earlier, on the day of his departure, a fatal incident happened which involved a girl he used to know and another boy. The girl is now rich and the boy, who is now her husband, is a district attorney.
Noir-ish melodrama. It has good performances, a good score, and an amusing storyline which combines many different elements in a sufficiently coherent manner. I guess one could say that the central theme is the abuse of power, or more specifically how power lends itself to abuse. A parallel theme is the impossibility of going back, and the dangers of looking back.
