When Hollywood's most beautiful prostitutes are being stalked and killed, one cop follows the murderer's trail in this erotic thriller.

Ernest "Stick" Stickley is an ex-con who's trying to stay clean on the streets of Miami. When his former cellmate is murdered during an illicit payoff, Stick finds himself at the center of a high-class criminal circle whose members include a nervous drug kingpin, a shady film producer, and a stock market whiz with his own gorgeous financial advisor. Burt Reynolds is both star and director of this fast-paced thriller with a sizzling cast including Candice Bergen, George Segal and Charles Durning. Elmore Leonard's screenplay, based on his own bestseller, blends cons and con artists into a suspenseful tall tale of creative swindling. Stick around - the action's just heating up.

Ernest (Stick) Stickley returns from prison, and very soon he gets involved with his old friend in a drug-running deal that goes sour. Hired by a rich investor, he tries to walk the line, but trouble follows him throughout as he tries to collect a debt and make up for lost time with his daughter. Stick also finds a new flame with a lady financial wizard (Kyle) and gets set to enjoy a new life, but Chucky and Nestor, the two hoods that owe him the debt, have other plans for Stick.
