Jessica's friend Jake Ballinger, one of the best homicide detectives in Los Angeles, is faced with a case that places his whole career in jeopardy. A woman is killed on a beach and is found by a passerby, who consequently gets arrested and under pressure from the LAPD pleads guilty. However, Jake believes him innocent but his department wants him to forget about the case, and send him to teach to university students about criminology. He ends up teaching two students, one a PI and the other an insurance investigator, and gets them to help on this beach Murder case to find the real killer.
A good idea that is executed quite well with some snappy dialogue, clever investigation. Perhaps, the denouement was a bit slap-dash, but overall very good with a great performance by Barry Newman, who, in my opinion, is a very underrated actor.
