Cynical, chilly wannabe thriller stars Campbell as wealthy dilettante Vera Barrie who's involved with a shady, sometimes violent street hustler named Ford (Weller). Needing money, Ford sells Vera's favors to a visiting Italian media mogul (Chianese), but manipulative Vera turns the tables by working out her own devious deal. Despite its brief length, film's rambling and semi-improvised dialogue and structure does the story no favors, although the city of New York is richly displayed.
