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.
