A carnival burlesque dancer robs her junkie ex-husband, goes to New York, gets a job at a high-class club where she becomes the mistress of the wealthy owner. She seduces his son and causes a murder.
The lingerie budget for the opening scene alone could clothe a small circus.
Meg Myles slinks through Manhattan’s sleaze circuit as Stacey Kane, a woman who leaves a trail of lingerie and broken lives. With a lesbian club manager, a deadbeat ex, and nightclub politics turning deadly, this film wields its pulp with a stiletto heel.
