Julian Kaye (Richard Gere) is a high-class escort for lonely women in this drama written and directed by Paul Schrader. When one of Julian's tricks turns up dead, his actual client refuses to give him an alibi, and Detective Sunday (Hector Elizondo) keeps asking questions Julian can't answer. Seems the only person who can help Julian now is his one non-paying lover, a local politician's wife (Lauren Hutton).
