Fiona lives a wild and reckless life outside the law. Abandoned on a New York street by her mother as a baby, she survives to become a crack-smoking prostitute. She kills three cops and by coincidence befriends her biological mother. The discovery changes both their lives. Gritty and unsparing the film blends fiction with actual documentary footage shot in a Lower East Side crackhouse, with real prostitutes playing some of the key roles.
