Plot

Jill Kelso (Bess Armstrong) is a Des Moines, Iowa television news anchor, whose younger sister, an aspiring actress, has entered a life of prostitution in Los Angeles.

Along the way, chemistry develops with a sympathetic cop (Max Gail) who tries to save her from becoming a victim herself. [2]
