Claire Dolan (Katrin Cartlidge) is a Manhattan call girl. She is still in debt to her pimp Roland Cain (Colm Meaney) who has been paying for her mother's care. After her mother dies, she runs off to Newark to her cousin without telling Cain. She starts working at a hair salon and dating cab driver Elton Garrett (Vincent D'Onofrio). She wants to start a family but then Cain finds her. He takes her back to Manhattan to work off her debt.
Katrin Cartlidge delivers a powerful quiet performance. Colm Meaney is able to bring a threatening menace. Writer/director Lodge Kerrigan brings a quiet desperation to this movie. The quietness is non-traditional but effective for what this movie is about.
