A bleak, unflinching portrait of urban desperation and exploitation that finds unexpected tenderness in a doomed friendship between two damaged men.

Joe Buck is a wide-eyed hustler from Texas hoping to score big with wealthy New York City women; he finds a companion in Enrico "Ratso" Rizzo, an ailing swindler with a bum leg and a quixotic fantasy of escaping to Florida.
