Summary Temptation takes on a wickedly delicious new flavor in About Adam, as every character is seduced...all by the same mysterious man: the sinfully sweet Adam (Townsend). Like his Garden of Eden counterpart, this sexy modern Dubliner has become the apple of one woman's (Hudson) eye --and everyone else's forbidden fruit. (Miramax Films)
