Nine erotic vignettes about the nightlife in Manhattan and the rich, famous and streetwise, who all seek sex, fantasy and comfort there together. All stories are superficially connected. Two people have sex in one story, then the next story follows one of these two people and his or her next sexual adventure with a new person. Then the third story follows this third person and his or her next tryst and so on. The stories are "The Debutante and the Rock Star" (a rich girl in a limo picks up a rock star, but things don't go quite as he planned), "The Rock Star and the Authoress" (the rock star hooks up with a female writer, who wants to write about him, but things again don't go quite as he expected), "The Authoress and the Photographer" (the female writer meets a photographer at a party, who takes her to his set where he photographs two women in underwear wrestling, which turns her on), "The Photographer and the Model" (the photographer is seduced by his beautiful former model and on and off girlfriend, who's still too much for him to handle), "The Wife and the Husband" (the model is actually married and she roleplays for her rich husband, who wants to watch her dress up as a man and have sex with a gigolo), "The Husband and the Prostitute" (the husband goes to an African American bar to hire a prostitute, but there's a twist), "The Prostitute and the Porno Star" (the prostitute takes her john to a sex club, but there she meets her old girlfriend, who works as a porn star, and hooks up with her), The Porno Star and the Financier" (the porn star has a movie idea and asks the financier of the porn movie she's currently shooting to invest in this idea, so he asks her for a drink in his office), "The Financier and the Debutante" (the rich girl from the first story meets the financier from the last story in a sleazy night club and tries to seduce him, even though he was once her stepfather). 1982 Penthouse Pet of the Year Corinne Alphen stars as the Debutante and then unknown Willem Dafoe has a cameo as a tough boyfriend of one of the girls in the sleazy bar, who's Debutante's friend. The movie is loosely based on "La Ronde" (a.k.a. Reigen), a famous turn of the 20th century play by Austrian playwright Arthur Schnitzler, written as a social critique.
