A bleak, unflinching portrait of urban decay and survival through sex work, drugs, and desperation, told with documentary-like detachment.

A heroin junkie works as a prostitute to support his habit and fund an abortion needed by the girlfriend of his lesbian wife. His seedy encounters with delusional and damaged clients, and dates with drag queens and hustlers are heavy on sex, drugs and decadence.
