About a police detective, Jack, who, while doing a friend a favor and searching for a runaway teenager on Turk Street, stumbles upon a bizarre band of criminals about to pull off a bank robbery. Jack finds himself being held hostage while the criminals decide what to do with him, and the leader's beautiful girlfriend, Erin, is left alone to watch Jack. Erin, who we discover is a master manipulator of the men in the gang, reveals another side to Jack - a melancholy romantic who could have been a classical cellist. She finds Jack's captivity an irresistible turn-on and he can't figure out if she's for real, or manipulating him, too. Before the gang returns, Jack and Erin's connection intensifies and who ends up with the money is anyone's guess.

During the scene where David is driving in the rain, the song playing is "(I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone," which originated on the TV series "The Monkees" (1966),which Bob Rafelson created. The version in the film is performed by his son, Peter Rafelson.

Erin:
I can't let you escape, because then I would have to escape, and nobody escapes Tyrone.


Jack Friar:
That's ridiculous.


Erin:
Is it? This is how Tyrone says you shouldn't have escaped.

[Erin removes a shoe to reveal a toe is missing]


Erin:
It's alright, I get 10% off my pedicures now.

Continuity: When Hoop gets out of the car to "check the spare wheel" he opens the trunk. When Tyrone gets out to look what's wrong, the shot from inside the car shows that the trunk isn't open. A moment later Tyrone yells to Erin to shut of the music, and then after that he shuts the trunk.
