SYNOPSIS:

Drug dealer, Skinny Cheesy Johnston pays Jake Klein five thousand dollars to get him out of the country. Rather than sneak him across the border as promised, Klein, a bounty hunter, takes him back to LA for trial.

Los Angeles homicide detective, Joanne Leslie has a fondness for the finer things in life, including the best cocaine money can buy. Unfortunately, her detective’s salary barely covers her expenses let alone her increasing drug habit. Her pricey tastes and fondness for drugs has left her with a substantial debt owed to her scumbag drug dealer Cheesy Johnston. Leslie asks her sometime lover Allie Ness to help her out of a jam by getting the money from her lawyer boyfriend Donald Davis.

When Davis fails to come up with the cash, Leslie has no choice but to kill Ness as she is the prize witness in Cheesy’s upcoming trial; but Cheesy still demands Leslie come up with the cash she owes him. Leslie picks up Klein at a cop bar, followed by a one-night stand, but Leslie doesn’t leave Klein’s apartment empty handed. While he’s asleep she find the money Cheesy paid Klein to get him across the border. She steals the money and an unusual gold cricket money clip that belongs to Klein.

When Ness is found dead, Leslie is called in to inspect the crime scene where she plants Klein’s gold cricket money clip. While removing any evidence of her relationship with Ness, she discovers the money Davis eventually delivered to Ness, unfortunately too late. Leslie takes the money.

Meanwhile Cheesy demands Klein give back the money he paid to get him across the border. Since Klein no longer has the money, Cheesy insists he get it from Leslie who has refused to pay despite the fact she now has Klein and Davis’s money.

Klein tells Cheesy that Leslie has his money and Davis’s cash but if he wants it, he’s going to have to get it himself. Knowing what the consequences are for such a showdown, Klein with the help of an old buddy and a cop friend sets up a trap that ends in a climatic confrontation where justice is served.
