His search for the woman of his dreams ends when he first sets eyes on Georgia (Lore Singer), an innocent and vulnerable young mother living with Coop (Keith Carradine), who has reached a dangerous crossroad in his life. Coop’s partner in crime is Solo (Joe Morton), an enigmatic jewel-thief and poet.

Their lives cross paths at the cafe run by Wanda (Genevieve Bujold), a mysterious woman and Hawk’s old flame. Casting a shadow over them all is gangland chieftain Hilly Blue (Divine, in his first Male role).
