[1] The movie starts with Nicole Lauker saying goodbye to her husband as he and his friend leave to go fishing for three days.

Together they go to the art museum where Evan purchased the statues and learn that he is alive, living under another name and address.

He justifies his bigamy and two faked deaths as necessary to pull off a $5 million deal with criminals, as ordered by his handler.

Suspicious, Nicole demands to participate in the platinum for cash exchange, and Evan reluctantly agrees.

Apparently impressed by her resourcefulness and still professing his love for Nicole, Evan asks her to run away with him to the Caribbean.
