Already financially in debt, Terry is against the wall, and is forced to do business with former friend Jake Wise (James Wood), a corrupt business man who's benefited quite well from his illegal dealings.

The job is to find the love of Jake's life Jessie Wyler (Rachel Ward), the woman who ran out taking with her fifty thousand dollars. But when Terry finds Jessie, he is immediately attracted - a romantic relationship begins between the two, all soon to be stopped by a ruthless man and his dealings.
"Against All Odds" can't quite decide what it wants to be: a thriller, a mystery, or a romance. Excluding some flaws in the screenplay, "Against All Odds" is bound to entertain fans of the romantic genre, especially if they'd like some thrills introduced into the story line.
Director Taylor Hackford's films include "An Officer and a Gentleman" (Richard Gere), "White Nights" (Gregory Hines), "Everybody's All-American" (Jessica Lange), "Dolores Claiborne" (Kathy Bates), "The Devil's Advocate" (Al Pacino), and "Proof of Life" (Meg Ryan).
