Everybody hustles - especially in Los Angeles, where suicides, strip joints, shootouts, porno movies, the mob, and murder combine into a collage. Caught in this web of modern reality is an old fashioned detective. A moralist who still sees the difference between right and wrong, he can hardly reconcile himself to the ugliness of his job. By day he investigates a young girl's suicide; at night, he relaxes with a high-priced Paris call girl.
