When prison inmate Frank Miller (James Russo) is released from jail, he attempts to
rejuvenate his life by turning his back on the criminal underworld which has landed him
in so much trouble in the past. A job in a coffee shop seems an innocuous enough
occupation for the former jailbird. While working there, he catches the eye of fellow
employee, waitress Marie Evans (Theresa Russell), and the two embark on a passionate
love affair. But trouble has haunted Frank for most of his life, and the situation
turns from sweet to sour when he feels the past tugging at his shirt sleeves once more.
To make matter worse, it transpires that Marie hasn't exactly lead a wholesome existence
herself, resulting in them both fleeing their jobs and taking to the streets in order
to survive. As director Richard Pepin (CYBERTRACKER) steers the film towards a dramatic
conclusion, the couple must pull out all the stops in order to shake off the past, and
survive in the present.
