Julian makes a lucrative living as an escort to older women in the Los Angeles area. He begins a relationship with Michelle, a local politician's wife, without expecting any pay. One of his clients is murdered and Detective Sunday begins pumping him for details on his different clients, something he is reluctant to do considering the nature of his work. Julian begins to suspect he's being framed. Meanwhile Michelle begins to fall in love with him.
Julian trades his professional detachment for a genuine connection, only to find himself trapped in a web of murder and police suspicion. This stylish neon fever dream captures the hollow vanity of Los Angeles through a lens of high fashion and lethal deception.
