Synopsis

The black sheep son of a wealthy family sinks deeper into corruption the harder he tries to pull himself out in this drama. Richter Boudreau is a small-time film critic with a checkered past and some bad debts who decides to return to his old home town of Tulsa in hopes of getting his life back in order, much to the dismay of his mother Cynthia, who is sick of lending him money and would prefer to have nothing to do with him. Richter still carries a torch for his one-time girlfriend Vicky, who these days is married to Ronnie, a low level drug dealer with loftier criminal ambitions. Richter owes Ronnie money from a long time ago and isn’t in a position to say no when Ronnie asks him to help with his latest scheme; Cherry, a stripper, was a witness to the murder of a prostitute, and since the killer, Bedford Shaw, is the son of the richest and most powerful man in town, Harmon Shaw, Ronnie feels that this information has remarkable blackmail potential. Richter finds himself caught up in Ronnie’s plan while fully aware of the danger of tangling with Harmon Shaw. He also finds himself falling into ill-advised romance with Cherry.
