STUDIO SYNOPSIS: Katherine Heigl brings Stephanie Plum - the popular heroine of Janet Evanovich's worldwide best-selling sixteen-book mystery series - to vibrant life in Lionsgate and Lakeshore Entertainment's "One for the Money."
A proud, born-and-bred Jersey girl, Stephanie Plum's got plenty of attitude, even if she's been out of work for the last six months and just lost her car to a debt collector. Desperate for some fast cash, Stephanie turns to her last resort: convincing her sleazy cousin to give her a job at his bail bonding company... as a recovery agent. True, she doesn't even own a pair of handcuffs and her weapon of choice is pepper spray, but that doesn't stop Stephanie from taking on Vinny's biggest bail-jumper: former vice cop and murder suspect Joe Morelli - yup, the same sexy, irresistible Joe Morelli who seduced and dumped her back in high school.
Nabbing Morelli would be satisfying payback - and a hefty payday - but as Stephanie learns the ins and outs of becoming a recovery agent from Ranger, a hunky colleague who's the best in the business, she also realizes the case against Morelli isn't airtight. Add to the mix her meddling family, a potentially homicidal boxer, witnesses who keep dying and the problem of all those flying sparks when she finds Morelli himself... well, suddenly Stephanie's new job isn't nearly as easy as she thought.
One for the Money is a 2012 comedy film based on the 1994 novel of the same name by Janet Evanovich. Directed by Julie Anne Robinson, the screenplay was written by Liz Brixius, Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith. It stars Katherine Heigl, Jason O'Mara, Debbie Reynolds, Daniel Sunjata and Sherri Shepherd.
PLOT....................
Stephanie Plum (Katherine Heigl), out of work and out of cash, desperately asks disreputable cousin Vinnie (Patrick Fischler) for work in his Bail Bonds business. Despite no training or equipment, she starts as an enforcement agent to catch his highest return bail jumper. Joe Morelli (Jason O'Mara), a former vice-squad cop now wanted for murder, took her virginity and dumped her back in high school. She insists her primary motive is 'for the money', 10% of a half-million bond, but the pursuit is personal.
During the chase, Stephanie also has to deal with her family, harmed witnesses, and lessons in bounty hunting from the more experienced Ranger (Daniel Sunjata). Through her personal knowledge of Joe, luck, and determination, she tracks him down. But she has no clue how to capture and turn him in, so he just drives away.
Joe secretly protects her from violent boxer Ramirez (Gavin-Keith Umeh) in dangerous Stark Street. Her cousin in the police force tells her that Joe is believed to have shot an unarmed man, and a possible witness is missing. She breaks into Joe's apartment and liberates his vehicle to drive around and lure him out. Instead, he breaks into her apartment for his keys and to confront her.
Although he fails, each encounter inflames their attraction. Joe asks for her help, to meet her contacts. Realizing the case against him does not add up, she agrees.
Following one last clue and suspect leads them to a marina, and dead bodies: the suspect, another in a refrigerator truck, and the missing witness in a barrel. They subdue Ramirez, but his manager Jimmy Alpha (John Leguizamo), reveals himself to be the controlling villain. Stephanie kills the manager, and traps Joe in the back of the truck.
She drives the truck to the police station, turns in Joe and claims the bounty. A recorded confession by the manager and re-discovered missing evidence clear him. He goes to Stephanie's apartment and they reconcile.
