Line 2:
'''One For The Money''' is a 2012 comedy film starring Katherine Heigl, [[Stephanie Plum|based upon the book by the same name]] by Janet Evanovich.
Heigl plays Stephanie Plum, a born-and-bred [[Joisey]] girl who finds herself in financial straits after being fired from her job as manager of the lingerie department at Macy's. After being turned down for a variety of demeaning jobs, she blackmails her cousin Vinnie, a bail-bondsman, into letting her recover some of his bail-jumpers for him.
Taking in small-time quarries for the money, Plum has her sights set on the $50,000 bounty for the capture of her ex-boyfriend, vice cop and murder suspect Joe Morelli. As she gathers evidence to track Morelli, she suspects he may not actually be guilty.
