Four stories of love on the edge are woven together by one uncontrollable emotion; desire. The lives of a gangster, looking for love in all the wrong places, an aging porn-queen, breaking from the hustler, who salvaged her career, a militant lesbian leaving her lover, for a man and a desperate loner killing for company, converge in a series of violent crescendos. Ending with a shattering climax inside a high security prison cell, between the Gil, the gay killer and Jack, the homophobic gangster, that only the laws of desire could determine.
