Leila is young, beautiful and a hustler. She robs hapless men picked up in the trendy nightclubs of Bologna.

Easy money, until she ends up with a document at the centre of a carefully crafted plot of political blackmail.

In an atmosphere of intense underworld paranoia she is pursued simultaneously by two secret service operatives, a goon hired by the blackmailer and the police.

They are after the document and a suitcase full of dollars meant to be the pay-off.

Chased through the streets of Bologna she comes across Francesco, a bus driver and gambling addict who spends most of his time running from the Bear, a terrifying debt collector for the mob.

Suitcases and blackmail notes change hands at a frenetic pace against a background of murder and other violence beyond the fringe.

A savagely funny crime adventure with an Italian twist.
