Synopsis:

Twelve years ago, Bridget had her husband murdered and was hit by a car while fleeing with her baby. Now she works in a grocer by day, and as a stripper in a peep-show by night in the hopes she can raise $500,000 to get her son back. After meeting a writer named Hawk, she is offered $1 million dollars if she marries and lives with Hawk's son for five years.

Thomson plays a messed-up, un-self-conscious and desperate denizen of New York, which should come as no surprise if you've seen Sue, or Fast Food, Fast Women. She's a mom who lost her son, Clarence, about a decade before, when some snarling bad guys shot her husband and child-welfare authorities deemed her unfit to care for him. When the movie opens we find Thomson drifting around the city, occasionally meeting up with her son for a little illicit parenting, finding and losing jobs, and falling into some perverse, low-rent Eyes Wide Shut scenes (don't ask). Eventually finding a job at a supermarket, Thomson meets a slightly retarded young man (David Wike), and later his father (Arthur Storch), a dying rich guy who secretly offers her money to marry his son. Lots of crazy stuff then follows. Thomson gets a night gig at a peep show; parties in Miami with a retired gangster; smuggles drugs out of Lebanon; sees a shrink; and moves in with a depressed ex-Marine...

Finishing his trilogy about desperate young women in New York, Amos Kollek focuses on an alcoholic, who tries to regain custody of her son. Being addicted to alcohol, single mother Anna had to give her son to foster parents, but they would 'sell' him back if she offers enough money. When she gets to know Pete, the mentally handicapped son of a wealthy author, his father asks her to marry his son for one million dollar...
