In Los Angeles, bank teller Betty Parrish (Debra Winger) has a one-night stand with a young tennis instructor named Mike (Mark Keyloun), but then has only random contact with him over the course of the next two years.
He is a drug dealer. One day Mike calls to tell her he is being chased for encroaching on another criminal’s territory. Later, a friend of his calls to say Mike is dead, brutally murdered.
Betty can’t let go of him without understanding him better, and tries to find out more. It leads to her discovering Mike’s hidden side, including a disturbed acquaintance of his named Pete (Darrell Larson) and a record producer named Philip (Paul Winfield) who apparently was involved with Mike in a gay relationship.
