Welcome to Eddie's world. It exists at the very juncture
where Hollywood meets the mountains, where the almost-rich
and not-yet-famous live on cheap thrills and heady
ambition while searching for true love and redemption.
Eddie lives with his smugly charming business partner
Mickey, who is 'taking a break' from his wife and
kids. Often they are joined in their mission for good
times and perfect one-liners by two close friends;
the smooth Hollywood player Artie and the brutish
yet would-be-actor Phil. Into this exclusive all-male
club come three equally adrift women. First there's
Darlene, a cool, beautiful fast-laner herself, who
two-times with both Eddie and Mickey. Then there's
Donna, an under-age, runaway waif whom Artie gives
to his friends as a 'care package'. Finally, there's
Bonnie, the sweet but stepped-upon exotic dancer,
whose unfortunate run-in with Phil sets off an unexpected
chain of events.
