Plot summary
Francine Driver is an ex-cop working undercover in Los Angeles, where she passes herself off as a contract killer. In a bar she meets Nick, a dentist who wants his wife Karen dead but cannot pay her $20,000 fee, so he promises to raise the money. Once he goes, a photographer named Henry flatters her, then grabs her wallet and disappears. Inside it is the recorder that captured her talk with Nick. Francine hunts through the city's bars and clubs for him. Others out that evening include Teresa, Henry's sister, an exotic dancer; Dodge, their father, an ex-con; Aldo, a gangster and Nick's patient, able to find the money if Nick joins a heist; Camilla, a bartender; June, who works the hatcheck at a nude ping pong club; Sam Salazar, Francine's superior, a detective; and Emmit, her ex-husband.
