Kirk Fogg goes from Nickelodeon game show to gritty street thriller as
the director and star of this stylish mystery about a drug-addicted, former
undercover cop searching for his missing girlfriend in the dangerous Los
Angeles underworld. Porter (Fogg) has just been involved in a drug deal
gone horribly awry, and now he and girlfriend Rachel (Sarah Lahti) are
attempting to lie low in a warehouse currently being used as a porno studio.
When Porter learns that Rachel has cut a deal with the sleazy producer
who runs the studio in order to bankroll the couple's flight from the city,
he shamefully numbs himself with drugs as Rachel turns tricks in front
of the camera for cash. Later, Porter makes a hazed-out attempt to prevent
his girlfriend from completely debasing herself that ends with him blacking
out and being left for dead on the banks of the L.A. River. Though he attempts
to go to the police in hopes that they will help him locate Rachel, the
officers all know about Porter's sordid history and fail to grasp the true
gravity of the situation. Realizing that in order to save Rachel's life
he will have to go it alone, strung-out Porter steals a car and hits the
streets in a frantic bid to rescue his girlfriend before she becomes another
inner-city statistic.
